Nancy Brown Dacko on Trailblazers’ transformation

The original mission of the Trailblazers hasn’t changed, but as the media landscape continues to evolve, the advocacy organization for Canadian women in media is evolving with it, marking its most transformative year to date.

Celebrating its 22nd year, Trailblazers is moving forward with a renewed focus, including the introduction of the Next Gen Trailblazer Awards, and the new Trailblazer Honours award – which this year will be presented to host, comedian and advocate Lilly Singh – as Trailblazers expands its boundaries beyond traditional broadcasting.

Trailblazers chair Nancy Brown Dacko joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast.

Since we spoke with Nancy, the Next Gen Trailblazer Awards have received a financial boost, with each of the five winners to now receive a $1,000 cash prize from The Scotia Women’s Initiative, in addition to a $1,000 bursary sponsored by Orbyt Media. Learn more here.
