RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, January 9, 2018

The Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group has announced the opening of the application window for its 2018 Mildred Carter MIW Group Mentoring Program. Currently in its 17th year, the program pairs up-and-coming women who currently work in the radio industry with female professionals recognized as leaders in all aspects of radio broadcasting and media.

Beasley Media Group has committed to provide support as the lead sponsor of the 2018 initiative, which provides a comprehensive learning platform for women interested in advancing within their careers in the industry.

A total of four candidates from the radio broadcasting industry -- within the sales, marketing, programming and digital disciplines -- will be selected for the 2018 program. Of those, at least one spot will be designated for a programming candidate and one spot designated for a digital candidate. The deadline to apply is January 22.

"This unique initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for mentees to gain valuable insight, knowledge and access to some of the most influential women in radio," said 2018 MIW Group's Mentoring Committee chair Lindsay Cerajewski and General Sales Manager at WSCR-AM/Chicago Cubs Radio Network. "It is very rewarding to watch our Mentees grow professionally throughout the year."

MIW Group Spokeswoman Denyse Mesnik added, "We are absolutely thrilled Beasley Media Group has generously offered their committed to support the 2018 Mentoring program as the lead sponsor. An added bonus is that company Chief Executive Officer Caroline Beasley will personally join the very impressive roster of MIW mentoring volunteers who share their time, talent and wisdom with our Mentees. It's going to be another successful year."
