Women in Communications to Honor Member, Nonprofit of the Year

The event is built around the brand theme in recognition of this year’s Member of the Year, Cindy Faith Swain, owner of PlanABrand, a full-service branding, marketing and social media company. Swain will be honored for her dedication to advancing the goals of AWC-SB and professional leadership in the field of communications.

“I am honored to accept this award,” said Swain, a well-seasoned executive with more than 20 years of worldwide licensing and business development experience, including 12 years with Warner Bros. “AWC-SB has been a great place to meet wonderful women who teach me and bring color to my life in Santa Barbara.”

In keeping with the event theme, tables and gift baskets will be designated with women’s brands, including Oprah Winfrey, Coco Chanel, Martha Stewart, Jane Fonda, Mary Kay, Lynda Wyman (of local company Lynda.com) and Rachael Ray. Tickets for chances to win women’s brand gift baskets will be sold at the event. Proceeds will be used to support AWC-SB activities.
