The editors of Multichannel News have announced the 2015 class of Wonder Women.
The 13 women, who appear in a congratulatory announcement on page 27 of Monday’s Multichannel News, comprise the 17th class of cable, telecommunications and related entertainment and technology executives to be so honored. Their profiles will appear in the Jan. 26, 2015, edition of the magazine, and they will be saluted at a luncheon event at the Hilton New York on Thursday, March 19, 2015. The event, as always, is co-sponsored by the New York chapter of Women In Cable Telecommunications.
More information -- including photos and bios of the honorees, event details and a roster (and videos) of past speeches from Wonder Women luncheons -- are available now at a newly re-launched microsite, mcnwonderwomen.com. Keep that site bookmarked for future news, including celebrity hosts and an upcoming separate class of Women to Watch.
