SEPTEMBER CONNECTION MEDIA MILESTONES Kristie Gonzales, President and GM KVUE For the month of September, AWM would like to highlight and welcome KVUE’s new President and General Manager Kristie Gonzales. Kristie began her career in Media at the age of 15 at a Christian radio station in Albuquerque. Her first paying job was at the PBS affiliate in Albuquerque KNME. From there Kristie joined the ABC O&O station group as a Promotions Producer/Writer at WPVI in Philadelphia. Kristie’s first job in station management was in Fresno as the Director of Creative Services and Public Affairs Director at the ABC O&O in Fresno. Prior to moving to Austin, Kristie served as the Promotional and Digital Brand Manager at WABC in New York. In fact, one of Kristie’s biggest accomplishments was transforming WABC to the number one local website and unifying the ABC brand on-air and online. Furthermore, Kristie strongly feels that multi-platforms create opportunities by supporting each other. A message is more powerful when it is displayed across multiple platforms. Kristie also feels that the new media landscape creates more opportunities rather than more challenges. Kristie firmly believes that successful leadership qualities involve collaboration, working as a team, and empowering staff. In fact, ideas are fostered at all levels and everyone should have a chance to participate in an organization’s success. Kristie LOVES being in Austin. She loves paddle boarding along Lady Bird Lake, the great food, and the friendly people. And interestingly enough, Kristie does not think the traffic is that bad here. As for favorite hobbies, Kristie enjoys eating out, hot yoga, traveling and any water activities. Welcome to Austin, Texas Kristie! A.W.M.

GSD&M cofounder Roy Spence, who was recently inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame, and his daughter Courtney Spence — founder of digital marketing firm CSpence Group — rallied their networks to help the Ad Council create a 30second public service announcement dubbed "Our Turn." Check it out embedded below. GSD&M Chairman Roy Spence NICK SIMONITE The goal: To get the masses to visit OurTurnToHelp.org so they can donate to charities helping victims. GSD&M Vice President of Community Relations David Rockwood, Austin-grown band Wiretree and longtime Austin resident and actorMatthew McConaughey were instrumental to the effort. An estimated 60,000 homes in Louisiana have been affected by the devastating flooding that began in late August. More than 106,000 residents and households have registered for assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The tragedy has been called the worst U.S. natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. This is not the first time Roy Spence has stepped up to help during times of disaster. The GSD&M chairman created campaigns for the Ad Council for hurricanes Katrina and Ike, the 2004 tsunami, the Haiti Relief Fund and following the attacks of Sept. 11. “Our Turn” started running on national broadcasts Aug. 25. https://youtu.be/9tdNt6_F0CA http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2016/08/26/spence-mcconaughey-and-other-austinites-find-a-way.html September 2016 Edition MEMBERSHIP WELCOME TO THE AUSTIN AFFILIATE OF WOMEN IN MEDIA We’d like to welcome the following new members: New Member Julie Kunkle Max Pittman Amy Anderson Bryan Hastings Pam Power Tom Michel Company Austin Monthly Austin Monthly KXAN-TV KXAN-TV KXAN-TV KXAN-TV New Member Lauren Hood Marika Whitehurst Nerissa Brooke Sarah Muesse Savannah Williams Leilani Perry Company LIN Digital LIN Digital LIN Digital LIN Digital University of Texas at Austin YMCA of Austin Help us continue to grow by joining via our website at http://awmaustin.org/join.php WIN A FREE YEAR OF MEMBERSHIP Join AWM between June 4 - September 30 to be eligible to win a free year of Individual Membership* Anyone joining Alliance for Women in Media, Austin Affiliate, during our Membership Drive with be entered to win their 2017 annual membership renewal for free .
