We connect women across public media, outline pathways to career excellence, and recognize the need and urgency to increase women in leadership positions.
One of a Kind Mentorship
We lead the only mentorship program in the country focused on the experience of women in public media
For the past six years, Public Media Women in Leadership has impacted the lives of hundreds of women in the system through professional growth opportunities. Most notably, our mentorship and engagement initiative has connected women across the nation for a structured partnership focused on fostering their leadership development.
In recent years, PMWL facilitated 199 one-on-one mentoring partnerships, comprised of one mentor and one mentee, with 58 of those currently meeting into 2021.
These “Thriving through chaos” sessions were created as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic in order to provide the PWML community with a safe space to connect and cope.
We connect women across the country to thought-provoking and inspiring experiences which fuel their professional and leadership development journeys.
Janeen Williamson on PMWL Mentoring
Members of PMWL have access to enriching programming offered year-round.
The Public Media Women in Leadership Mentor Program caters to the professional and leadership development journeys of women and non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers on the experiences of women in public media through the facilitation of one-on-one mentoring partnerships.
Ambassadors bring fresh and current perspectives to the forefront of the organization by tapping into the diverse talent of women within our industry. Ambassadors serve as conveners and advocates for PMWL by participating in a variety of roles including research and content leads, webinar producers, social media experts, event moderators/hosts/facilitators, among others.
Connection Hour, a membership perk for PMWL's individual sustaining and one-time supporters, are virtual networking mixers designed to convene thought-provoking convos that are fun and interesting, and not a waste of time. In a world where we’re all in need of some work + life balance, these meetups are designed to open your mind and expand your thinking with a dash of socializing and networking.
Our monthly Sweet and Sour chats are a safe space focusing on the experience of thriving through chaos. All are welcome, especially those who want and are willing to share their story.
