IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GREATER PUBLIC’S PMDMC

(June 21, 2019) On July 12, 2019, Public Media Women in Leadership (PMWL) will present the FIRST conference for women in public media, featuring dynamic speakers addressing key issues in 21st century leadership: strength & resiliency, developing an inclusive corporate culture, and women as role models for leadership & development.

The conference was made possible by the generosity of Greater Public which invited PMWL to host its first conference in association with the PMDMC and is providing logistical and registration support for the event. The PMWL is grateful to CARS for stepping up as founding sponsor of the first conference for women and providing early backing to the event. Dallas-based KERA is serving as luncheon/books sponsor as well as generously providing videotaping services.

Below are the keynote speakers/sessions in order of appearance.

“Since PMWL’s founding in 2015, we’ve been asked to host a conference for women,” said Deanna Mackey, PMWL founder. “I am excited to finally be able to provide this opportunity for women leaders thanks to the support of Greater Public’s Joyce MacDonald and our founding sponsor CARS. I hope it’s just the start for future regional training meetings for women in our industry. We are also thankful to WEDU and their support of our Speaker’s Bureau, via the Susan Howarth Memorial Fund, which is allowing us to provide honorariums to our speakers and recognize the time and talent they’re bringing to this conference.”

Brave Talk takes place Friday, July 12 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Dallas in Dallas, TX.

We are honored Greater Public has made this event possible in conjunction with the PMDMC. Based on this partnership, registration to the PMDMC is required to attend Brave Talk. Those who previously registered for the PMDMC will be able to update their registration to include Brave Talk as an add on.
