The Radio Advertising Bureau in conjunction with BMI and Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio, Inc. have completed the 13th annual Rising Through the Ranks program. Twenty-Six scholarship recipients were graduated from the five-week, virtual training program.
“Even though Rising Through the Ranks was virtual this year, it was as intimate, engaging and rigorous as past programs,” said Erica Farber, President/CEO RAB. “These talented women were able to not only develop new radio management skills they took back to their companies immediately after each class but became an interconnected network of future leaders during the midst of a global pandemic.”
The curriculum focused on the specific needs of women in radio management or those aspiring to move into management positions and worked to enhance their overall knowledge and skills.
