Hawaii’s own Leslie Wilcox, president and CEO of PBS Hawaii, recently was honored with a 2013 Women Who Make A Difference Award by the International Women’s Forum for her leadership and public service.<\/p>\n

The award presentation took place as part of the International Women’s Forum Global Leadership Conference at a gala in the harbor-side Vancouver Convention Center with more than 1,500 people in attendance, one of them the premier of British Columbia.<\/p>\n

“So she was the reason for the guys talking into their lapels near the stage,” Wilcox says.<\/p>\n

Wilcox, who was featured on MidWeek<\/I>‘s cover Feb. 24, 1988, and again July 18, 2007, was nominated by Hawaii Women’s Forum, a group she holds in high regard.<\/p>\n

“I admire [them] for their authenticity and ‘can do’ attitude,” she says. “They didn’t mention their nomination to me until I was chosen as one of eight winners internationally, so it came as a complete surprise.”<\/p>\n

For Wilcox, the significance of the award was a chance to meet exceptional women from other countries and to see what they’re doing with the professional and personal resources available to them.<\/p>\n

“What struck me most in the women I got to know was their comfort level in just being themselves and relating to others from diverse backgrounds,” she says.<\/p>\n

The professionalism and positive influence that earned Wilcox this international honor can be seen at PBS Hawaii, where she always is striving to create a better public-service media outlet.<\/p>\n

“A key word for PBS Hawaii this year is ‘transmedia,’ as we create or adapt content for different media platforms,” she says. “We’re not just oneway television anymore; there are a lot of digital screens to serve.<\/p>\n

“Perhaps the most powerful one is the smallest – the screen on your smartphone, where video use is exploding. We’re thinking a great deal about what people will want and need from public-service media in the future.”<\/p>\n

She also praises PBS Hawaii’s statewide student newscast, HIKI NO<\/I>, a weekly television show in which students learn 21st century skills as they find, research, compile and present stories.<\/p>\n

According to Wilcox, under the guidance of the teachers and PBS Hawaii advisers, the students reach for national PBS journalism standards.<\/p>\n

“And we’re looking forward to the next season of Downton Abbey <\/I>debuting in January, a runaway hit with a crazy wide cross-section of viewers, including people you’d never expect,” she adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
