MMTC Celebrates Past and Present Women Leaders of FCC at First-of-Its-Kind Luncheon

The Minority Media & Telecommunications Council hosted its first luncheon to honor more than 60 past and present women leaders of the Federal Communications Commission.

Nearly 120 women and men convened in the venue decorated with busts and portraits of Dr. Dorothy I. Height and Dr. Mary McLeod-Bethune to hear several inspiring “her-stories” of seven of the women honorees and one sitting commissioner who recently announced his retirement from the regulatory agency. Sitting FCC Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Mignon Clyburn served as the event’s opening and closing storytellers, respectively. They each spoke about the need for more diversity in the communications industry as well as the importance of role models to improve our nation’s communities.
