In conjunction with RAB's recent announcement that RAB and the Ad Council would launch new model to offer advertisers opportunity to integrate with social good campaigns, RAB will officially kick off the initiative with a joint RAB and Ad Council live presentation featuring an overview of the program and how radio sellers can bring it to market.

During the presentation, attendees will be provided with an overview of the program as well as the tool kit available to radio sellers to present and share with relevant local advertisers.

The webinar takes place at noon CT on Wednesday, May 22, and features:

• Mike Hulvey, president and chief executive officer, RAB
