| Over 1,000 people came
out to honor the 2008 Advertising Working Mothers of the Year at a luncheon
held at the New York Hilton on February 7. Included in the mix were business
colleagues, family members, friends and, of course, many of the honorees’
children. Now in its fourth year, this gala event continues to grow in attendance and participation. After marching into the Grand Ballroom as their photos, business affiliations and children’s names and ages flashed on the screen, honorees were each asked questions pertaining to their roles as mothers and executives, including the all-important work-life balance issue. The answers were extremely well positioned and engaging . The event which is presented by Advertising Women of New York and Working Mother Magazine and co-sponsored by Mediamark Research & Intelligence, has 20 honorees divided into the categories of Trailblazers, Established and New to Motherhood. The winners included: |
