NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR 2015 WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY AWARD

JUNE 10, 2015 (Exton, PA)-Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Women in Technology Award, the prestigious honor that is jointly presented by Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), and Cablefax. The nominations deadline is Friday, July 10, 2015.

The award, sponsored by Bright House Networks, was created in 1995 to acknowledge the achievements of an outstanding woman in technology who has demonstrated significant personal and professional growth and has contributed to the advancement of the cable telecommunications industry. The award is designed to shine a spotlight on the achievements of women inside this traditionally male-dominated industry sector. A nominee must be in a technical position in the cable or telecommunications industry and must be a current member of WICT and SCTE, among other criteria detailed in the nomination application.

This year's award will be presented during SCTE's Annual Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2015, in New Orleans.

Last year's award winner was Sherita Ceasar of Comcast. Past recipients of the Women in Technology Award include Stephanie Mitchko-Beale, Jennifer Yohe Wagner, Susan Adams, Leslie Ellis, Barbara Jaffe, Cyndee Everman, Carolyn Terry, Vicki Marts, Charlotte Field, Nomi Bergman, Yvette Kanouff, and Pam Nobles.
