The U.S.-based advocacy group Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio has announced a new mentorship program, Behind the Mic Mentorship, aimed at on-air “growth and evolution of women.”
A release explains that the program is a “year-long experience exclusively for female personalities that have been in an on-air position for at least 3–5 years in local or national radio programming and have demonstrated a desire to grow their on-air career.” Those selected “will receive personalized conversations and advice from a wide range of industry professionals including two of radio’s top stars; national radio & television personality and Gracie Award winner, Elaina D. Smith of Nights with Elaina, as well as New York’s Broadway and WLTW Morning Show talent, Christine Nagy.”
In addition there will be the possibility of a trip to the 2024 Radio Show at the NAB Show next April in Las Vegas.
Behind the Mic is sponsored by radio consultancy McVay Media. President Mike McVay said, “Mentoring is key to career growth and important to every person’s career. I appreciate and support what MIW is about and am happy to sponsor this mentorship in particular.”
