Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio and CRB have extended the application window for the second year of their Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Country Radio program, designed to support female leadership in the format.
The year-long mentorship program provides one participant with direct access to industry leaders, networking opportunities, and career development resources.

The program also includes an invitation to attend the 2026 Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, a key industry event.
Applications are open and will now be accepted through March 31.
