Public Media Women in Leadership:

Public Media Women in Leadership was founded in January 2015 by Deanna Mackey and Jeannie Ericson to provide a forum for current and aspiring women leaders to support and learn from each other, provide training and mentorship opportunities, build community and advocate for women leadership within public media. The PMWL currently has more than 2,000 active members in its Facebook Group, provides bi-monthly training webinars on public media and leadership topics and leads events at many public media national conferences. The PMWL is supported by a committee of public media women leaders. The Wyncote Foundation is the generous sponsor of the PMWL’s Mentoring & Engagement Initiative.
