Hulvey Named Pres./CEO Of RAB
• Mike Hulvey, CEO of Neuhoff Media, has been named as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the RAB, effective April 1, 2024.
Hulvey will succeed our former R&R boss Erica Farber (pictured, below), who has led the organization for nearly 12 years and has decided it’s time to step down and pursue other interests, including continuing to participate in RAB’s Rising Through the Ranks leadership development training and the National Radio Talent System, a wholly owned subsidiary of the organization. Under Farber’s stewardship, the RAB has reshaped the organization into a full-service integrated membership, business development and training concern as well as forged strong relationships within the advertising marketplace. She has also diversified and re-invigorated its Board of Directors to ensure the future of the trade association.
The announcement of Hulvey’s appointment was made by Jeff Warshaw, Chair of the RAB Board and Founder/CEO of Connoisseur Media, who said, “Mike is an excellent selection with the relevant skills and expertise to lead the RAB. He has an impressive track record in corporate management and local radio expertise. In addition, as a past chair of the RAB he has a clear understanding of the organization and what the broadcast industry requires from RAB. He has a tremendous passion for the industry which will serve us all well.”
Warshaw added, “We thank Erica for her leadership over the past decade in helping to shape an organization that meets the needs of broadcasters today as well as for the future of the audio industry. She’s left an indelible imprint on the industry, and we can’t thank her enough for her commitment and passion to Radio. It’s been an honor and a privilege to work with her.”
Hulvey, who has served as Chair of the RAB Board, President of the International Broadcasters Idea Bank and as member of the NAB Board of Directors, remarked, “I’m honored to take on this responsibility and lead the RAB. It’s a privilege to follow an amazing leader such as Erica Farber. I look forward to celebrating her in the coming months while we begin working with our dedicated team and board of directors in support of the mission of the RAB.”
Hulvey will work with Farber to ensure a smooth and successful transition during the next few months as her last day with the RAB will be April 30, 2024.
