Radio Ink Publisher Eric Rhoads said, "The focus of "Rising Stars" is to identify those individuals who
possess the potential and the passion to be the radio industry's innovators and leaders tomorrow. It also continues the Radio Ink tradition of seeking out excellence in radio. The young professionals tapped as "Rising Stars" this year will be names to watch. Over the coming years, they are likely to make their way to becoming Radio Wayne recipients, MIW's and Top 40 honorees. We are proud to partner with RAB in spotlighting the "Rising Stars."
President/CEO of the Radio Advertising Bureau President/CEO Erica Farber said, "It's exciting to see young people come into Radio and in a few short years show some some real promise, enthusiasm and a love for the business. It's important we continue to attract young people to our industry and cultivate them and their future potential. The 'Rising Stars of Radio' list and panel at the Radio Show not only recognizes these young leaders' contributions but it also helps us all learn from them why they believe Radio is a great place to work and what they see for the future of our evolving business."
