“Welcome Wisconsin!,” exclaimed MIW Board President Ruth Presslaff. “We are so appreciative of the support the Wisconsin broadcasters are showing by launching this mentorship program with MIW. Many thanks to Michelle Vetterkind and everyone at WBA.”
Qualifications for the Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Wisconsin Mentorship include: 1) A minimum of 3 years in the radio industry; 2) An interest in growing your career within the radio industry; 3) the ability to commit the time (2-4 hours a month) to make this program work for you; 4) You currently work in a Wisconsin radio market.
Applicants should be women aspiring to a management role in radio or a manager seeking to grow essential skills and techniques needed to be an effective leader. The application window is now open, and the deadline to apply is July 7.
