It's a wrap for the RADIO ADVERTISING BUREAU, BMI and MENTORING AND INSPIRING WOMEN IN RADIO (MIW)'s 2022 RISING THROUGH THE RANKS program, which completed its 14th annual program on AUGUST 11th in NASHVILLE. The curriculum included sessions on "Building Your Personal Brand," "Managing Up, Down & All Around," and "Having Difficult Conversations."
“We are not only delighted to bring another RISING THROUGH THE RANKS class together, but to have it be in person for the first time in three years,” said RAB Pres./CEO ERICA FARBER. “This group were exposed to strategies and tools they can put to work immediately within their own organizations, while helping them become their own board of directors to help one another navigate their professional growth as future industry leaders.”
“BMI was thrilled to once again host RISING THROUGH THE RANKS in our NASHVILLE office," said BMI Exec. Dir./Industry Relations JESSICA FROST. "Each year, the event provides scholarships to an incredible class of women who participated in the program, and this year was no exception. Being back together in person made it even more special, highlighting the importance of personal connection through mentoring, networking and education. In addition, these talented women heard invaluable advice on how to succeed in radio directly from some of the top executives in the industry, who paved the way for them to follow.”
“The MIWs are an organization dedicated to mentoring women in radio," said MIW Board Pres. RUTH PRESSLAFF. "There’s nothing better than meeting a group of dynamic, dedicated, up-and-comers who already are bringing so much to our industry and are hungry to bring even more. RTTR is just an absolute pleasure to support."
