On May 3, 2014, LMT Inc. President and CEO Lani Hay hosted the 7th Annual Rock The Vote “OFF THE RECORD” event at her private residence in D.C. during White House Correspondent’s Dinner weekend.

Female media honorees included: CNN’s Rene Marsh, Fortune Magazine’s Leigh Gallagher and WJLA’s Rebecca Cooper. Hay made short remarks regarding the powerful leaders and their accomplishments in the media industry.

“Women in media have been instrumental in fueling societal progress and in giving an accurate portrayal of women in their stories. I am thrilled to have so many influential women in media here tonight, including our special guests.”

A slew of recognizable names turned out to support Hay and the celebrated women in media, including FOX 5’s Steve Chenevey, Lauren DeMarco and Tucker Barnes, ABC 7’s Jummy Olabanji, Scott Thuman and Kendis Gibson, WUSA 9’s Andrea Roane, BET’s Angel Elliot, WPGC 95.5’s Sunni And The City, DC Senator Paul Strauss and Rock The Vote President Ashely Spillane. Partygoers enjoyed front row seats at the intimate show and jammed to top charted hits such as “Goodbye to you,” “All You Wanted” and the Grammy-winning track, “Everywhere.”
