It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and PMWL champion, Dorothy McGrath. Taken from us far too soon, Dorothy poured her heart and soul into public media throughout her remarkable career. Her unwavering dedication was evident during her time as Alaska Public Media’s Chief Operations Officer and VP of Administration, as well as leadership roles at Milwaukee PBS, and Nebraska Public Media. She was also a proud participant in the PMWL Boot Camp and Mentoring Circles, where her passion for leadership and system-wide progress shone brightly. Dorothy’s dedication, mentorship, and infectious positivity inspired so many of us, and her legacy will continue to shape the public media system that she cared so deeply about. We offer our deepest condolences to Dorothy's family, friends and colleagues.

How wonderful is this? It just so happened that Ashley Virtue from National Conflict Resolution Center was in #Atlanta and she made time in her busy schedule to record a conversation about conflict resolution for those of us working in public media. The perfect topic for Public Media Women in Leadership #PMWLConnectionHour, as we navigate election season. THANK YOU, Ashley, for being so on point - at the perfect time! Our PMWL members took away a lot of great insight from the conversation today. And to top it all off, we made a Spotify Playlist. Love it!

This month is very special to me as it marks the six year anniversary of my tenure with Public Media Women in Leadership. This is why as I reflect on my professional journey, it’s bittersweet for me to share that I will be stepping down from my role at PMWL this month. I will be announcing an exciting new chapter in my professional career soon, stay tuned for more on that. In the meantime, I will continue to keep up with all things PMWL and public media, now from the sidelines rather than the playing field. During the past six years I have been fortunate to collaborate with amazing people across the system with the common goal of supporting the professional and leadership development journeys of women throughout public media. From leading the production of the Public Media CEO/COO BootCamp and supporting 59 fellows through their C-Suite journeys, curating the 1:1 mentoring and mentoring circles programs impacting more than 300 women, engaging our 2,400+ community members, and working with 140+ trainers and partner organizations… The list goes on but all in all, I am beyond proud of the community I have been a part of these past few years and the work I have spearheaded on behalf of the organization. I am extremely grateful for Deanna Mackey’s mentoring and leadership these past few years. Deanna, being your partner on all things PMWL has been one of the most fulfilling professional experiences I have had to date. Thank you for your trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring your dreams to fruition. Thank you to everyone for trusting me in supporting your leadership development journeys these past few years. It is time for me to focus on my own journey and I cannot wait for what the future holds. #LeadershipDevelopment #Consulting #CareerTransition #PublicMedia
