Martha to Receive Lifetime Empowerment Award

On June 7th, Martha will receive the Lifetime Empowerment and Achievement Award from Folio: magazine, an information resource that publishing executives turn to for news, news analysis, commentary, and thought leadership in driving business strategy, value creation and revenue growth in the publishing industry.

"Martha Stewart was an obvious choice for our first-ever recipient," says Caysey Welton, Folio: Content Director. "For nearly 30 years she has never rested on her laurels and has continued to push new boundaries in publishing and media in general. She is an Emmy Award winner, bestselling author and successful entrepreneur, and now, a star on Facebook Live. Not to mention her name alone is a powerful brand, as evidenced by her deep product lines, which are synonymous with quality."

Tom Harty, Meredith Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, had this to say about the nomination: "Martha Stewart has truly set the standard in the magazine media industry for creativity, innovation, and leadership. Martha is the original influencer in the lifestyle category, inspiring millions of readers and setting the benchmark for quality content. No one is more deserving than Martha for this honor, and we are thrilled she is part of the team at Meredith Corporation."

Congratulations, Martha!
