It’s rewarding to watch our Mentees grow professionally throughout the year.”
vCreative CEO Jinny Laderer said, “In 2008, shortly after launching vCreative, many MIWs encouraged me and helped steer me through the difficult challenge of starting a company during the recession that hit the radio industry especially hard. I’m forever grateful to the MIW’s, and it’s an honor to pay it forward by sponsoring this year’s Mildred Carter Mentoring Program.” MIW Group Spokeswoman Denyse Mesnik added, “The MIW’s heritage Mildred Carter mentoring program is an experience that is coveted by women in our industry.
