CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: Women in Periodical Publishing and the
Audience Development Show Present
Exceptional Woman in Publishing: Circulation Mentor
Who made a difference in YOUR career? Now is your opportunity to recognize the person that contributed the most to your advancement, and those of others.
If you ask a successful woman about her accomplishments, you are likely to hear stories of people that helped foster her career. The stories will be of someone who encouraged, supported, taught, promoted…in short, a mentor.
What is a mentor? A mentor is someone who can advise, teach, or manage other people in such a way as to aid their career growth. A mentor might consider her protégée for additional responsibility, provide opportunities for advancement, support the need for balance between work and family. A mentor will say "I think you can do this," and then show how.
Women in Periodical Publishing, known for its annual recognition of an Exceptional Woman in Publishing, now reaches out to honor those women who have created opportunities for other women. WIPP will recognize an extraordinary mentor in the field of circulation with its third annual Exceptional Woman in Publishing: Circulation Mentor Award, to be presented at the Audience Development Conference and Expo in Chicago this June.
To submit a nomination please contact Lori Birney, lbirney@verizon.net or Linda Ruth, lruth@singlecopysales.com.
