Raleigh, NC and New York – April 9, 2018 – The national Folio: Top Women in Media awards announced this week that Michelle Eggleston, CPTM, editorial director of Training Industry, Inc., has been honored as an “up and comer.” According to Folio, the Top Women in Media awards recognize women from across the magazine and digital publishing industry who have “stood out, taken risks, and pushed their teams to new heights.”
Eggleston first joined Training Industry as associate editor in 2011. Since being named editorial director, she has overseen the production of Training Industry Magazine, including its transition from a quarterly to a bi-monthly publication, and has also overseen increases in readership, by more than 25 percent during her tenure, and growth in digital subscriptions.
“I am so proud of Michelle for her many accomplishments here at Training Industry, including her most recent recognition as an up-and-comer in her profession by Folio,” said Ken Taylor, president of Training Industry, Inc. “She continues to be an important leadership voice in the company, and is actively engaged with our editorial board, contributors and readers to ensure TrainingIndustry.com and Training Industry Magazine remain at the forefront of managing learning for business results.”
“It’s an honor to be recognized alongside such dedicated women who are bringing new ideas to the table and transforming their brands,” said Eggleston. “We are committed to our audience at Training Industry and it’s this commitment that drives our efforts to provide relevant and reliable information that our readers can immediately apply to their jobs.”
Eggleston is a graduate of North Carolina State University. During her tenure, Training Industry Magazine has received numerous awards, including an Apex Award and being named a Top 10 Magazine of 2017 by the American Society of Business Publication Editors.
As a 2018 honoree, Eggleston and Training Industry join a class of honorees from media organizations including Vox Media, Hearst Magazines, Bloomberg, Meredith and IAB. “All honorees of the Folio: Top Women in Media Awards bring something new and exciting to the table, but each shares the same key characteristics of smarts and exuberance,” said Robbie Caploe, publisher of Folio, “whether it be through revenue and audience growth, brand extensions, product launches, business transformations, thought leadership, or pioneering savvy.”
