I'm always especially mindful of the amazing women in this world and in my life during Women's History Month but the truth is my friendships with women - personal and professional enrich my life so much which is a big part of why growing and nurturing The Persistence network is something I'm dedicating time too at GAIN POWER. What I have especially loved is the mix of ages, specialties, experience, and diversity we have found together.
I didn't plan our theme but it turns out to be Trailblazers - women who are firsts and living history. This week we're featuring Ondine Fortune - Founder of Fortune Media. I love how this photo of her captures her vibe but also the vibe I hope we all feel when we gather.
Ondine Fortune is recognized as one of the nation’s top experts in media planning and media buying for politics and public affairs campaigns. Since creating Fortune Media in 2000, she has bought over $300M in advertising for the clients she serves. Fortune Media has been on the cutting edge of micro-targeting and the use of data mining to better target advertising plans. Her considerable industry knowledge and reputation have made her the media strategist of choice for hundreds of successful political and public affairs campaigns nationwide.
Sorry, we can't segment sending these messages. The Persistence is a networking group for womxn in progressive politics. If this doesn't apply to you please share this message with a young woman colleague who might not be on this list!
We've been meeting weekly on Thursday Evenings since the beginning of this year and the sessions have all been as uniquely amazing as our guests. I recognize this time or even format does not work for everyone who wants to participate so we may mix up the time and platform in the future. I really want to hear from you about how to make this work for as many womxn as possible. If you want to join but can't during this time please let me know.
This is a brief survey we've been using for your feedback and to share contact information with each other.
The Persistence on
GAIN POWER and
Facebook are other great ways to engage. You do need to request permission to join both but we want to have you!
Hope to see you this tonight or soon. Best, Amy
