My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Women in Film & Video Inc, Washington, DC, USA
When I moved to DC from NYC 18 years ago, I didn't know a soul in the tv industry. I felt very isolated until I joined WIFV and was embraced by their members and Board. I met my first employer at a panel discussion and review of demo reels and have found countless other freelance opportunities from the WIFV listserve. Over the years, their programming, community outreach and recognition of women trailblazers in the industry has educated and enlightened me. I wanted to give back to the organization that helped me, so when I was approached by Rosemary Reed to join the Board I decided to run. I was elected to the Board and later served as WIFV President 2000-2001. I have made lasting friendships and participated in creative collaborations with fellow members that have enriched my life. It is an outstanding organization and I commend them for their continued support of the local industry. Keep up the great work WIFV!
