Women in Christian Media -With the conference theme Journey to Revival, WCM founder and JOY TV President & CEO Suellen Roberts hopes the event will connect and refresh women in Christian communications. It was just two years ago when Roberts began to test the waters for an industry group geared toward women. The idea sparked immediate enthusiasm. Within two months, Roberts secured a leadership team and unveiled WCM at the 2003 National Religious Broadcasters Convention. Celebrating significant growth in its first two years, the group anticipates increased response at the 2005 conference in Anaheim. The schedule of events will stick closely to WCM’s mission to encourage, connect and mobilize women working in all forms of Christian ministry. WCM was birthed out of Roberts’ desire to connect women in purpose and vision. She believes that providing a platform for women in Christian media will yield powerful results. “Mobilizing women in Christian media is essential to advancing the gospel in these times,” said Roberts. While encouraging women in Christian communications is priority, WCM also intends to inspire more Christian programming for female media consumers. On Monday, February 14 at 10:30AM, Roberts will moderate the educational session “Just Ask a Woman.” The session will be open to those attending the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. The panel will discuss growing trends among female media consumers and new ways to connect with women through programming and promotions. Roberts is encouraged by the groups’ rapid progress. “I have organized many women’s groups over the years, but this one is different,” said Roberts. “There is an enthusiasm among these women like I’ve never seen. That is why we’ve come so far, so fast,” she added. Those serving on the leadership team played a vital role in making it happen. The leadership team consists of seven women serving on the Executive Committee and a base of 24 Founding members. At the heart of WCM’s mission is to be a source of encouragement that facilitates lasting friendships and continual growth. “WCM provides a common ground for media professionals creating a synergy to explore new horizons,” said Christy Legg, Vice President of ILIFE Television Network. Legg also commented on the invaluable connections she has already made through WCM. “My involvement with WCM has been the starting point of invaluable relationships. The events provide opportunity to exchange ideas and keep a pulse on the various programming available for women,” she said. Based on response from those who have attended past WCM events, the group is already making an impact through enriching the lives of those involved personally and professionally. When asked about the future of WCM, Roberts anticipates a remarkable outcome. “I expect that great fruitfulness will come out of all this, for women in the industry and for female media consumers,” said Roberts.
