Sorors On the Move...

Hey Sorors!

Long time, no see, I know, but Soror Ebony Washington's poetry is featured in April's edition of Essence (the one with the box office chocolates on the cover -- p. 206, I believe) and she will be featured on Lyric Cafe on BET soon. As soon as I find out her episode's airing date, I will let you all know here or via list. She is an amazing Spoken Word Artist and runs her own venue in NY!! Get your April Essence and check her out!!! Nikki Giovanni chose the winner of the competition.

Edit: Since there has been so much soror-related news, here is a thread to keep up with some of the great strides Sigma Women are making...

Thanks for the information Sorhor and yes, I already have my copy of this month's Essence magazine. When I pulled it out of my mailbox a very warm wonderful feeling came across my face.

Post Soror Appears in Jet

I know you have seen the picture of our soror, Mayor Yvonne Beals in Jet Magazine!! (I think Little Romeo is on the cover)
As a candidate she received the most votes in the city's election history, is the youngest candidate to be elected for a city council position, and is the first African-American female mayor of Pittsburg (which is located near the Bay Area). Our soror joined us for our public meeting at the Western Regional Conference in San Jose.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Yip!!!!

WPP Group Names Chairwoman for Young & Rubicam
By STUART ELLIOTT
New York Times

A longtime packaged-foods executive without Madison Avenue experience is becoming the first black woman to lead a large division of a big agency company.

Ann Fudge was today named chairwoman and chief executive of Young & Rubicam Inc. in New York, one of the three largest divisions of the WPP Group.

Y.& R. houses agencies like Young & Rubicam Advertising; Wunderman, a specialist in direct marketing; Landor Associates, focused on corporate identity; and the Burson-Marsteller and Cohn & Wolfe public relations firms.

She will also be chairwoman and chief executive of Y.& R. Advertising.

Ms. Fudge succeeds in both posts Michael Dolan, who has worked for Y.& R. for seven years and held the top jobs there since 2001. There had been widespread speculation in trade publications that Mr. Dolan might leave soon, but the selection of Ms. Fudge as his successor came as a surprise.

Mr. Dolan said he would remain to help with the transition and then take some time off before deciding what to do next.

Ms. Fudge is often featured on magazine lists of the most powerful women in American business. She had most recently been the president of the beverages, desserts and Post cereal division of Kraft Foods, responsible for brands with an estimated $5 billion in sales like Maxwell House coffee, Jell-O gelatin, Kool-Aid drink mix and Shredded Wheat.

She left that job in late 2001 and since then had concentrated on working with philanthropic and social organizations, speaking engagements and serving on boards of corporations like General Electric, Honeywell International and Marriott International.

Ms. Fudge, who also worked for General Mills, is the most recent in a lengthening list of executives with experience as marketers who are becoming heads of agencies or agency companies.

Such executives can "understand the opportunities and challenges facing clients," which is "a critical part" of what agency leaders must do, Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP in London, said in a telephone interview this afternoon.

In appointing Ms. Fudge, WPP now has women heading two of its three biggest divisions, also a first. Shelly Lazarus is chairwoman and chief executive of the Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide unit of WPP.

Wow, I never knew that Ann was a SGRho.

I knew her when she worked for the Mills and we were active together in the Black MBAs. One thing that everyone always admired about her was her ability to balance home with career. There was even an article about it in Essence or Black Enterprise one year. She prided herself on not working past 5:00pm and being home to cook dinner and spend quality time with her family--all while rising on the fast track in her job. She is a beautiful woman--inside and out.
