The Glass Ceiling in PR Is Cracking but Not Fast Enough – Industry Leaders Reveal What’s Next
The communications industry is at a turning point, and the conversation around women’s leadership has never been more critical. On March 20, 2025, CommPRO and CommunicationsMatch™ will host the next installment of their dynamic virtual event series in honor of Women’s History Month, The Communications Town Hall on Women’s Leadership, where top industry leaders will engage in a candid dialogue on the evolving landscape of women’s leadership in PR and communications.

Hosted by CommPRO Publisher Fay Shapiro, this must-attend session will feature a powerhouse lineup of leaders driving change in corporate, financial, and public relations sectors.
The discussion will explore the progress made in advancing women’s leadership in PR and communications, persistent challenges that still need to be addressed, mentorship and equitable opportunities as key drivers for professional growth, and how women leaders are leveraging innovation, advocacy, and strategic storytelling to influence the industry. With a focus on actionable insights, attendees will gain perspectives on how to foster inclusivity at the executive level and create meaningful change in their organizations.
This town hall will bring together trailblazers from across the industry who have dedicated their careers to advancing the profession and paving the way for future generations. Guests include Johna Burke, CEO and Global Managing Director at AMEC, Amanda Keane, Vice President at Racepoint Global, Stacey Cohen, President and CEO of Co-Communications, Sharon Fenster, consultant, Susan Freeman, host of The Force podcast, and Melissa Feinman, founder of NinePointFour.
