Speak Up! is a one-year mentorship program created in partnership with Media Staffing Network Founder and CEO Laurie Kahn before her passing. One candidate from a small to medium radio market, from any department, will be selected for the 2023 program.
The selected Mentee will be jointly mentored by MIW’s network and Media Staffing Network’s coaches. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2023. For mentee criteria, and instructions on how to apply, please visit https://bit.ly/3xzEpVw. The program is targeted to women working in Markets 50+.
Said MIW Board President Ruth Presslaff, “Our excitement in launching this new mentorship is, of course, mingled with sadness at Laurie’s passing. We worked with her to craft this mentorship and look forward to working with a new mentee while honoring Laurie’s legacy.”
Media Staffing Network Vice President and General Manager Patty Kincaid added, “We are honored to partner with MIW to create the “Speak Up” program commemorating our late founder, Laurie Kahn. Nothing meant more to Laurie than encouraging women to find their own voices and then watching them grow, achieving their personal career goals in media.”
