New Members Further Strengthen IWMF Board

[November 30, 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C.] – The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) is delighted to welcome three highly accomplished leaders in the broadcast and print news media industries to its Board of Directors. The new members include Miki Toliver King, The Washington Post’s Vice President of Operations; Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, CBS News’ Senior Vice President of News Administration; and Suzanne Allen Redpath, an award-winning journalist who spent a remarkable 45 years in various roles at CBS News.

“We couldn’t be more pleased about the breadth and depth of experience these three women are bringing to the IWMF’s board of directors. They are joining us at a critical moment in the news industry, where the focus on press freedom, combatting the culture of sexual harassment, and enhancing the safety of journalists has never been more important,” said Elisa Lees Muñoz, the IWMF’s executive director. “Each of these leaders brings critical skills and expertise that will help propel the IWMF’s mission and engage an even broader audience in our critical mission.”

Miki Toliver King is The Washington Post’s Vice President of Operations, where she oversees marketing and finance enterprise systems, facilities operation and security. Since joining the paper in early 2016, she has helped drive digital subscription growth by more than 200%. Previously, she was Politico’s Executive Vice President of Operations, where she launched the company’s first paid subscription product, created its talent acquisition team and spearheaded community engagement initiatives. Earlier in her career, King’s other roles included leading the business development and marketing teams at The Advisory Board Company, and serving as a contract litigation attorney for Seeger, Faughnan, Mendocino, PC. She received her JD from George Mason University School of Law and her BA in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
