MIW Mentoring Program Looking For 3 Motivated Women

After witnessing what the MIW mentoring program does, at the Radio show in Chicago, women interested in advancing in radio should not waste another minute reaching out to this organization. We would advise any women interested in advancing in radio to take apply for this program as soon as possible. Only 3 candidates will be chosen. There is no doubt women who enter the mentoring program will have access to some of the most successful minds in our industry. It's a rare opportunity to learn from radio executives who have paid their dues, made mistakes and gained success. They will provide 3 very lucky individuals with insight that can never be learned in any textbook.

This is the 11th year of the mentoring program, which matches up-and-coming women in the radio industry with female professionals who are leaders in all aspects of radio. "This is a wonderful opportunity for mentees to gain valuable insight, knowledge and access to some of the most influential women in radio," said Lindsay Cerajewski, Chair of the 2012 MIW Radio Group's Mentoring committee and General Sales Manager at CBS Radio?s WUSN-FM in Chicago. ?We look forward to another outstanding program in 2012."

Three candidates from the radio broadcasting industry will be selected for the 2012 program.  For mentee criteria and instructions on how to apply, please go to www.radiomiw.com. The deadline is Friday, October 28th. The program is named in the memory of Mildred Carter (pictured), who, along with her husband, Andrew "Skip" Carter, founded the first African American owned radio station in the U.S. in 1950, when they turned on KPRS Kansas City, Missouri.  Mrs. Carter ran the Carter Broadcast Group for many years after the death of Skip Carter, before turning over control of the company to her grandson, Michael Carter in 1987.

The Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio Group (MIW) is dedicated to using its influence and resources to support women in radio to develop strong management and leadership skills. The MIWs are equally committed to advocating the advancement of women to senior positions in radio companies and corporations.
