MIW 2019 Mentoring Window Open
• The Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group has opened the application process for its 2019 Mildred Carter MIW Group Mentoring Program. Now in its 18th year, this initiative pairs up-and-coming women in the radio industry with female professionals who are recognized as leaders in all aspects of radio broadcasting and media. The program is named in the memory of Mildred Carter, who, along with her husband, Andrew “Skip” Carter, founded the first African American-owned radio station in the U.S. in 1950 — KPRS/Kansas City. Beasley Media Group has once again committed to provide support as the lead sponsor of the 2019 program.
Four candidates from within the radio industry — including management, sales, marketing, programming and digital — will be selected for the 2019 program. Of those, at least one spot will be designated for a programming candidate, and one spot designated for a digital candidate.
