In keeping with the 2019 national conference’s aim to equip, elevate, and empower, Women in Media launched the ‘Connector’ program. It provides a free pass to the two-day conference and up to $1000 to help cover flight and accommodation costs.
Women in Media is thrilled with the number and quality of the applications, which made it extremely difficult to select the recipients in each state and territory.
