About Us

Maine Media Women is a community of communications professionals who meet regularly to exchange ideas and information, and to offer mutual support and professional recognition.

Our mission is to promote the advancement of women in the communications professions. We accomplish this through educational meetings, special workshops and conferences, scholarships for women studying in communications fields, and awards presented to women who have achieved career distinction in communications.

Our members represent the full spectrum of communications careers, including writers, graphic designers, artists, editors, publishers, photographers, videographers, advertising and marketing professionals, public relations practitioners, communications educators, and specialists in broadcast, print and electronic media.

The organization, founded in 1951, was originally called Maine Press Radio and Television Women. In 1982, it was renamed Maine Media Women to reflect a broadened scope of members, activities, and contacts.
