Celebrate 70 Years of Courage with AWM by Sharing Your Voice
The Alliance for Women in Media (AWM) is celebrating its 70th anniversary with the official launch of a VOICES OF COURAGE digital tapestry, a commemorative logo and a social media campaign, using #VoicesOfCourage and #70YearsOfCourage. Since its inception in 1951, AWM has been committed to inspiring, educating, celebrating accomplishments and expanding networks of women across all segments of media.
AWM is the aggregation of all women’s voices in media, and we know that every voice is not only different, but rich in its individual context. In order to share these narratives in an even more personal and meaningful way, we have developed a new website, which has appropriately been titled, “Voices.” We invite you to join the celebration by contributing to the tapestry. To view th tapestry and add the individual who inspires you, visit celebrateawm.org.e VOICES OF COURAGE
If you are interested in supporting the next 70 years of AWM or sponsoring a square on the tapestry, visit allwomeninmedia.org/foundation/make-a-donation/.
