Magazine Publishers of America launch award for Magazine Mentor of the Year

(January 24, 2008) Magazine Publishers of America has created a brand new award called "Magazine Mentor of the Year," recognizing a member of the community who has aided a fellow magazine professional’s career and promoted inclusion in the industry . This was announced today -- Thank Your Mentor Day -- by Shaunice Hawkins, Vice President of Diversity & Multicultural Initiatives, MPA. The winning candidate will be honored at a special awards breakfast on June 5, in New York City.

"The Magazine Mentor of the Year, part of our ongoing effort to improve inclusion in the community, puts a spotlight on the individual whose generosity in time and counsel is empowering other magazine professionals to achieve great things in the business," said Ms. Hawkins.

Candidates must be nominated by an employee of an MPA member company and/or individual member of the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME). Self-nominations will also be accepted. Nominations will be accepted from now until April 1.

The award will celebrate the best candidate who challenges all within his or her sphere of influence to create meaningful change and positive social impact within the magazine industry and beyond; promotes a better understanding and valuing of inclusion and equity within the magazine industry; has made a personal commitment to developing the next generation of magazine leaders; and whose contributions and strong leadership serve as examples for all who would mirror his/her career path.
