Alliance for Women in Media to Honor "Women Who Represent" at Sold Out Event
McLean, VA (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- The Alliance for Women in Media (AWM) is pleased to announce that the Women Who Represent event has sold out. An elite group of women who govern, influence and inform will be honored at the 2013 Women Who Represent Breakfast on November 14, 2013, in Washington, D.C. During this exclusive, at-capacity event, AWM will celebrate the accomplishments and impact of dedicated women who help shape the political and media landscape nationally and globally.
“AWM is thrilled by the positive response to Women Who Represent, and we look forward to welcoming our honorees and guests to a full house next week,” said Kay Olin, AWM Chair. “We are proud to recognize women who make a difference through advocacy, policy and industry outreach.”
As women take their seat – and increasingly, seats – at the political table, women are also increasingly covering our political news. Today's omnipresent media and never-ending news stream allows for a wide spectrum in terms of both information and views, and women journalists are front and center. At the same time, women have increased their influence and clout in Washington D.C. and beyond.
