Originating in October 1991 as the Canadian Women in Radio and Television (CWRT), the organization changed its name in the mid ’90s to Canadian Women in Communications (CWC), in response to the growing need to support and raise the profile of women in associated industries. Over the last 17 years, CWC has become the leader in assisting women from the communications industry with advancement. A multifaceted and inclusive organization, CWC supports not only women in radio and television, and telecommunications, but also women in print media, new media and the IT sector. CWC is a national, bilingual organization, with nine chapters across Canada, that helps women prepare to meet the challenges of the current business environment. Supported by generous sponsorship from an array of companies in the communications sector, CWC offers strategic networking events and targeted professional development programs to assist women with maximizing their career potential.
