Mesnik Speaks For MIW
The Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group Executive Committee has named communications pro Denyse Mesnik as the new MIW National Spokeswoman. Mesnik, President of The Mesnik Group, succeeds Kay Olin, Principal of Olin and Associates, who was elevated to the position in 2014 and will continue serving as a member of the MIW Group Executive Committee. The MIW Group is a volunteer organization helping women in the industry develop strong management and leadership skills and advocating the advancement of women to senior positions in radio broadcasting.
Mesnik notably enjoyed a successful 25-year career with Beasley Media Group, during which time she rose through the ranks from executive assistant to Founder and Chairman George G. Beasley to VP of Corporate Communications. In 2016, Mesnik, APR hung out her own shingle and founded The Mesnik Group, a public relations and marketing company specializing in the radio and music industries.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve as the MIW National Spokeswoman over the past three years,” said Olin. “Denyse has been actively involved during that time, generously offering her support and extraordinary talents to help elevate the MIW mission and programs. She leads by her heart and by example; her passion for mentoring and dedication to helping women reach their professional goals makes Denyse the perfect choice to assume this important role.”
Mesnik commented, “Under Kay’s tremendous leadership, the MIWs have added numerous awards and activities, expanded our reach to include women in programming and finance, and increased opportunities for corporate sponsorship. All to say, Kay’s a tough act to follow.” She continued, “Thankfully, the MIWs share a special bond and a true sisterhood. I’m deeply honored to serve in this manner, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to further a mission in which I believe wholeheartedly. With Kay’s support, and that of our very accomplished MIW Executive Committee, I’m also excited to engage the entire roster of MIWs so that we can collectively continue building upon the MIW Group’s significant progress.” Mesnik can be congratulated at 239-250-9833 or Denyse@MesnikGroup.com.
