RADIO ONLINE | Monday, March 16, 2020 |
The Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) Group has announced that the application window for its MIW Group 2020 Mildred Carter Mentoring Program is officially open. Currently in its 19th year, this experience pairs women working in radio with female professionals who are recognized leaders from all aspects of the broadcasting industry. Four candidates will be selected for the 2020 program. Women with a minimum of five years of radio experience, and currently working in sales, marketing, programming, digital and/or engineering, are encouraged to apply.
"This unique initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for ambitious, experienced women in the industry to gain valuable insight, knowledge and grow their professional network. This program truly does propel the careers of women forward in our industry," said Mentoring Committee Chair and Entercom Vice President, National Agency Partnerships Lindsay Adams (formerly Cerajewski), who is also a former MIW Mentee. "It is rewarding to watch our Mentees grow professionally throughout the year."
Program sponsor vCreative CEO Jinny Laderer added, "In 2008, shortly after launching vCreative, many MIW's encouraged me and helped steer me through the difficult challenge of starting a company during the recession that hit the radio industry especially hard. I am forever grateful to the MIW's, and so it's an honor to pay it forward by sponsoring this year's Mildred Carter Mentoring Program."
MIW Group Spokeswoman Denyse Mesnik said, "The MIW's heritage Mildred Carter mentoring program is an experience that is coveted by women in our industry. The professional and personal benefits received, and the incredible connections established, last a lifetime. We are very grateful to Jinny & John Laderer, and the vCreative team, for sponsoring this year's class."
The MIW Group Mentoring 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, when they launched KPRS Kansas City, Missouri.
