MIW Announces Women In Country Radio Mentorship
• Against the backdrop of CRS 2026, Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio, Inc. (MIW) announced the opening of applications for the 3rd Annual Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Country Radio Mentorship Program, presented in partnership with Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB), the organization behind the Country Radio Seminar (CRS).
The year-long program connects one selected mentee with respected leaders across the Country radio landscape for personalized mentorship, strategic introductions, and professional development opportunities focused on strengthening leadership pathways within the format. As part of the experience, the mentee will attend the 2027 Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville.
CRB is proud to continue our partnership with MIW on this important initiative,” said RJ Curtis, Executive Director of Country Radio Broadcasters. “Developing strong leaders is essential to the long-term success of our format, and programs like this create meaningful opportunities for talented women in Country radio to grow their careers while building lasting industry relationships.”
“Being selected as the 2025 mentee was an incredibly valuable experience,” said Jessica Chenoweth, last year’s MIW Women in Country Radio mentee. “Learning directly from leaders across the Country radio community and gaining insight into different areas of the business has had a lasting impact on my professional growth.”
“Country radio thrives on strong relationships, deep community roots, and forward-thinking leadership,” said Becky Brenner, MIW Board Member and Partner at Albright & O’Malley & Brenner Consulting. “Through this mentorship, we are intentionally investing in the next generation of women leaders within the format. When we elevate women into decision-making roles, we strengthen the entire industry.”
The mentorship is open to one woman employed full-time at a U.S. Country radio station with a minimum of five years of industry experience. Applications are now open and will be accepted through April 17, 2026. APPLY HERE.
