Thriving past 50!

Women’s Media Group gathered 20+ committee chairs and active members in our hometown of New York City for a day-long Leadership Summit earlier this week. As WMG celebrates its 50th year as a community for accomplished women in Publishing and Media, we are focused on building for the future via programming, networking, and scholarships. Co-Presidents Jodi Brockington and Jennifer A. Perry alongside WMG member and management consultant, Jacqueline Cripps, guided the group through discussions and hands-on activities about WMG’s mission and priorities for 2025 and beyond. Plus, we got cool t-shirts and indulged in gelato!

Microphones and amp needed for 10/30 WMG Ms. Magazine panel at Barbetta!

It's the 50th anniversary of both WMG & Ms. Magazine, and we're planning a great luncheon panel with luminaries Suzanne Braun Levine (the 1st Editor-in-Chief of Ms. Magazine, who was on the WMG board w. some of our founders!), Letty Cottin Pogrebin (an author who spoke at WMG way back in the day), and Marcia Gillespie (1st woman of color to be an Editor-in-Chief at a major magazine). We may have one more speaker. We're very excited!!

We need someone to bring microphones and run sound for the event. For this event, I think we'd need 2 microphones for the panel and 1 handheld for questions. Barbetta is an iconic woman-owned restaurant on restaurant row, 321 West 46th Street (between 8th & 9th avenues). The event should be 12:30-2 on 10/30, but the person would need to be there beforehand to set up. We have a very small budget for this. Can you please let us know if you or your company could do this or if you can think of someone who could help?
