Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI) and Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW), have announced that the 14th annual Rising Through the Ranks will be held in 2022 as a hybrid event. The program will begin with two virtual sessions taking place from 11am-2pm CT on July 26 and August 2, prior to participants meeting in person on August 9-11 in Nashville.

As in years past, BMI will offer 20 scholarships for this year's program. The scholarships will cover the cost of the professional development course, which is geared to foster and educate current and emerging female radio managers in broadcast radio.

"BMI continues to be proud supporters of Rising Through the Ranks and the work our partners at the RAB and MIW do to support rising female executives in the radio industry," said BMI VP/Industry Relations Dan Spears. "The scholarships provided by BMI give these talented women invaluable training from some of the top executives in the business. We're so thrilled to have everyone back together again in Nashville this year and look forward to a successful event."

"To the up-and-coming women in our business, MIW has one message: Go for it! Fill out that application and learn from some of the best in the industry," said WIW board president Ruth Presslaff. "Rising Through the Ranks, in partnership with BMI and RAB, represents the best of what happens when we give back and pay it forward. MIW is always thrilled to be part of the program."

"Rising Through the Ranks is a priceless opportunity for our attendees to further their professional development and we are excited to be bringing this event back in person this year," noted RAB Preisdent/CEO Erica Farber. "We're taking our learnings from virtual training over the last two years and integrating it with our proven in-person training to create a best-in-class curriculum that is certain to payoff for our participants."

This year's agenda and speaker lineup will be announced at a later date.

Scholarship applications and registration are available on www.rab.com and will be accepted starting April 18, through 6pm CT on May 13. Scholarship recipients will be notified of their selection by June 10.
