Shore and Southwest suburbs
of Chicago, including
The Winnetka Current.
Award winners will be
recognized both at the
event and also in 22nd
Century Media publications.
“This event is just a
great opportunity to...
highlight some of those
working women who may
not always be highlighted
or recognized,” Warthen
said. “[Looking at] some
of the nominations that
we’ve seen come through
so far, there are a lot of
great stories, there are a
lot of great women out in
the North Shore area, and
for us, it’s a great opportunity...
to recognize those
women [in our community
newspapers].”
The function of this
luncheon is not only to
present awards; the event
is also a networking session.
“Making connections,
for people, is a wonderful
thing,” Warthen said.
The event will feature
culture transformation
expert Jeanne Malnati as
a speaker. Malnati is the
CEO and founder of The
Culture Group, a company
which teaches communication
and leadership
principles. She is also a
licensed psychotherapist
and expert in workplace
wellness.
While 22nd Century
Media hosts similar
awards events throughout
the year, including ones
which target seniors or
recognize businesses as
a whole, this event arose
because the company felt
accentuating women’s accomplishments
is also important.
“This is a great networking
opportunity to
meet some of the movers
and shakers of the north
shore,” Warthen said. “[It
is a] positive event for
women to attend, and we
are really looking forward
to it.”
