MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES WOMEN IN WIRELESS INITIATIVE
Charter Includes Creating Education, Mentoring and Networking Opportunities
ORLANDO, FL, CTIA Wireless 2007, March 27, 2007 — The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) (www.mmaglobal.com) today announced the creation of a Women in Wireless initiative. The group’s charter is to establish a forum for female industry leaders in the mobile media community and to increase the industry awareness around the success of female executives in the mobile space.
The MMA Women in Wireless committee has four focus areas:
• Education, including professional development
• Mentoring, including establishing a mentoring program for industry newcomers and startup companies headed by women
• Networking, including establishing a forum for female leaders to share their experiences and provide a resource pool for sharing information
• Recognition, including elevating the profile of female leaders, establishing a ‘Who’s Who’ of industry leaders and creating an award for female leaders in the industry
The MMA Women in Wireless committee is co-chaired by Connie Wong, CEO of Vidiator, and Laura Marriott, executive director of the MMA.
“I’m particularly pleased to lead the MMA’s Women in Wireless committee as it’s important to encourage the participation of women leaders in the development of the wireless sector; especially in entrepreneurship to create new applications for women to drive mobile usage and new revenues for carriers,” said Wong. “We welcome participation of all MMA members and look forward to growing the committee and its general presence in the market.”
“The inspiration for the Women in Wireless committee came from the large and growing number of female executives at MMA member companies,” said Marriott. “This committee builds on those strengths by creating opportunities for those leaders to educate and mentor other women in the mobile industry.”
MMA membership is open to companies, academic institutions and individuals actively engaged in the global mobile marketing industry. A list of current members is available at www.mmaglobal.com/modules/article/view.article.php/501.
