EVENT RECAP - New York Women in Communications presents 2013 MATRIX AWARDS - Waldorf=Astoria - April 22, 2013

 

                                  

 

What is the NYWIC Matrix Awards? It is an event "honoring extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry". As a member of NYWIC and committee member for High School Outreach, I was honored and thrilled to attend such an inspirational event filled with women who admittedly took leaps of faith to follow their passion and as a result, have been tremendously rewarded for their efforts. The Matrix Awards is essentially the "Grammy's" of the communications field, being held at the fabulous Waldorf=Astoria. Comedian and Fashionista Joan Rivers served as Emcee.
