Major boost for Power of Women campaign

The Power of Women ( PoW ) campaign has taken a big step forward with the appointment of its first full-time role , supported by Tees Business .

Founded by the late Professor Jane Turner OBE , the Power of Women ’ s aims to inspire the next generation of the region ’ s females to raise their aspirations and ambitions .
Resolution Media and Publishing – the team behind Tees Business – is working with the Power of Women to produce engaging content for the campaign ’ s website .
And the Middlesbrough-based publisher has appointed Teesside University student Nieve Morrison to work full-time on a 12-month placement for the campaign .
The role is being funded by the Power of Women , helped in part by money generated from a Go Fund Me page , which is still open for donations .
But the project is being fully supported by Middlesbrough-based Resolution , which will guide and support Nieve through her role at their Plenary BV House offices near the Transporter
Bridge . Resolution has also assigned newlyappointed chief writer Dave Robson , the ex-Gazette chief news reporter , to mentor Nieve during her time in the role .
Resolution director Dave Allan , who is a PoW director , said : “ This appointment of Nieve is fantastic news on two fronts – it will not only significantly boost the Power of Women campaign in terms of it being able to produce more content , it also gives one of Teesside University ’ s marketing students a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience and play a key role in what is such an important campaign .
“ We shared Jane ’ s vision with the Power of Women campaign . We ’ re passionately determined to help deliver it , and we ’ re sure Jane would have approved wholeheartedly of giving Nieve this opportunity .”
Nieve , 21 , from Stockton , attended Egglescliffe School and Sixth Form before studying English Language , Literature and Business at A-level .
Experience – Nieve Morrison has been appointed to lead on the Power of Women campaign in a 12-month work placement .
She ’ s in the third year of a marketing degree at Teesside University and her 12-month PoW role will form a major part of her studies .
“ I ’ m really excited to join the team at Resolution , and especially to be part of the Power of Women campaign ,” said Nieve .
“ I know all about the campaign and I know how passionate Jane Turner was about gender parity , so I ’ m honoured to have this opportunity to start building content for the campaign ’ s website .” Nieve now wants to hear from inspirational women across the Tees region as she starts to build more content for the PoW campaign .
She ’ s already busy compiling life and career stories from successful women from all walks of life to show the next generation that women can achieve anything they want to .
