Daria Linvill & Julie Kertes Dish on Honoring Rita Moreno With a Lifetime Achievement Award
Daria Linvill and Julie Kertes are the co-presidents of Alliance for Women in Media. They came out to the 2012 Genii Awards to present awards to a few deserving women in the industry. StarCam?s Jennifer Tapiero caught up with them and got the scoop on the importance of the evening and what their organization is all about.
?We?re going to honor some women who?ve made some strides in our industry,? said Julie. ?They?re pacemakers. They?ve overcome obstacles. They?ve adapted to change. So, we?re honoring their excellence in the media.?
While the two of them had never officially worked with Rita Moreno, they both agreed that she was quite the impressive woman and said they felt honored to present her with an award. They both followed her career and admired her hard work and effort. The organization is a great resource for anyone interested in getting involved with the media as well. It?s not all about the people who are already successful. They aim to help other people succeed as well.
?You can visit AWMSoCal.org and what we are is we?re an organization that provides networking opportunities and mentoring opportunities for women and men who want to get into the media or are in the media and entertainment industries,? Julie explained. ?We have a speed mentoring event every year where it?s like speed dating and you could mentor and meet a ton of people who are looking to get into broadcasting.?
