Neuhoff Hits Fast Forward Button

• Neuhoff Communications has launched the inaugural class of its Fast Forward Leadership Program. The Neuhoff leadership team nominated several candidates for consideration and six were chosen: Chad Baker, Neuhoff Media Danville; Taylor Brown, Neuhoff Media Springfield; Jeremy Hardman, Neuhoff Media Bloomington; Emily Phillips, Neuhoff Media Decatur; Amanda Van Meter, Neuhoff Media Lafayette and Dianna Towns, Neuhoff Communications.

The criteria used to evaluate the candidates for this program included their leadership potential, skill in managing current responsibilities, demonstration of the core values of grit, innovation, community and excellence and potential to help identify opportunity to make Neuhoff Communications better. The Fast Forward program will demonstrate and continue the mission of Neuhoff Communications as the sign most important source for local news and entertainment in the markets we serve.

Each member of the Fast Forward team has been assigned a mentor from the Neuhoff Communications leadership team to assist in their professional development. The team will also work together on a capstone project that will be presented to each of the Neuhoff Media markets and to the Neuhoff Communications Advisory Board.

Mike Hulvey, Neuhoff VP/COO noted, “We’re excited by the energy and focus of the Fast Forward Team.” President/CEO Beth Neuhoff adds, “Anyone who doubts there is a deep bench in the local media business need look no further than these talented individuals. The future is very bright.” Pictured, (l-r): Amanda Van Meter, Dianna Towns, Jeremy Hardman, Mike Hulvey, Beth Neuhoff, Emily Phillips, Taylor Brown. (Not pictured: Chad Baker)
