Sally Anne Dishong — In the News at Private Clubs Magazine

When I was publisher of a local educational newsprint magazine for women, I was selected to be featured in the Private Clubs magazine.  Here’s the excerpt from the January – February 2007 issue (click the link and scroll down to “In the News” for the full article):

Sally Anne Dishong In the News

As a co-owner of the Tampa Bay Woman Newspaper,  Sally Anne Dishong uses the power of her publishing base to help other women succeed. No social and fashion scene here. With topics such as “Succeeding in Business with ESP,” “Writing for Emotional Balance,” and “Mother Leads Best,”

Dishong aims to entertain and educate women in the community without the “fluff.” The publication, which reaches about 200,000 readers, is part of a national network of 19 educational women’s newspapers designed to “provide readers with an alternative source of information, connections, and entertainment for the higher-educated, higher-disposable-income woman,” says Dishong, a member of Centre Club in Tampa, Florida. To succeed as an expert in your field, Dishong espouses (and encourages her local editorial contributors to pursue) the four pillars of promotion: being published; public speaking; participating in promotional, networking, and educational events; and giving back as a passionate philanthropist. With a background in information technology, corporate training, and staff development expertise, Dishong has the networking down pat. She is the club’s incoming chairperson of the Executive Women’s Committee and uses the club as a business base.
