We are grateful for the opportunity to support this initiative and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have.”

We couldn’t be more grateful to RJ Curtis, John Shomby, and the entire team at CRS for their enthusiastic partnership. A special note of thanks and remembrance to Bill Mayne for his early support of MIW and our initiatives.”
The mentorship is available to one woman currently employed full-time at a Country radio station within the United States who has been in the business for at least five years. Applications are now open and being accepted HERE through March 22.
