SourceMedia Expands Portfolio of Events, Content Focused on Women Executives

<i data-rte2-sanitize="italic">Events and Rankings for Professional Women in Healthcare IT, Benefits and Asset Management Industries Introduced This Year</i>

SourceMedia, a leading B2B media and information company, added three new professional communities – focused on women executives in asset management, employee benefits and healthcare information technology – to its acclaimed family of programs celebrating and supporting the achievements of women in financial services.

The three new events join a powerhouse roster of celebrations, networking events, rankings and awards for women business leaders that began in 2003 with the debut of American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Banking. These programs – which include content assessing the role of women in these industries and their progress in attaining the topmost roles – all share a common mission: to identify and celebrate excellence, to nurture talent, and to provide forums to remind each industry of all the talent available to it.

Health Data Management introduced its Women in Healthcare IT Awards on Oct. 6, highlighting the professional achievements of five healthcare IT leaders working in provider organizations. “Each nominee has transformed her organization and, in so doing, made the U.S. healthcare system more responsive to the needs of patients,” said HDM editor-in-chief Greg Gillespie.

Employee Benefit Adviser honored 20 executives at its Most Influential Women in Benefit Advising celebration, which took place Sept. 30 during SourceMedia’s Workplace Benefits Summit in Boca Raton, Fla. “These women represent firms from across the country – from business owners to lobbyists to marketing directors to compliance officers,“ said Elizabeth Galentine, Editor-in-Chief of Employee Benefit Adviser. “We honor them for leadership and ingenuity in the field of employee benefits and for elevating the status of all women in the industry through their mentorship and strong example.” Details about these professionals and their achievements are available at: http://eba.benefitnews.com/gallery/eba/the-most-influential-women-in-benefit-advising-2743850-1.html

Money Management Executive presented its inaugural Top Women in Asset Management Awards in May, recognizing 10 women who have had a significant impact on both their organizations and the fund industry. “In an industry still largely dominated by men, these women stood out for their impressive leadership skills and styles,” said Scott Wenger, Editorial Director of SourceMedia’s Investment Advisor Group, which includes MME.

SourceMedia launched its first event and ranking focused on women professionals, the Most Powerful Women in Banking, in 2003. The 2014 rankings and related content can be found atAmericanBanker.com/Women-in-Banking, including the Most Powerful Women in Finance and 25 Women to Watch lists. The honorees will be celebrated at an Oct. 9 dinner and awards ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

“These programs are all about women’s empowerment – existing and future – as a necessary component of business success,” said David Longobardi, SourceMedia’s Chief Content Officer. “It’s inspiring to witness the engagement and sense of community these professional women bring and their deep commitment to mentoring and professional development.”
