| Lois Ann Chooljian began her career in the radio industry in 1998 when she joined RadioInk as an account executive. She has said, “I don’t believe Eric Rhoads thought I would last one month in this job, but I fell in love with the industry and its challenges.”
In 1999 she was part of the team that developed the idea for “The Most Influential Women in Radio” issue of Radio Ink, borne out of frustration that there was only one woman listed on that year’s “40 Most Powerful People in Radio” issue. She is extremely proud to know that from that historical issue the MIW’s were formed by the forward-thinking women selected that year.
After four years of developing highly successful marketing campaigns, forging solid relations within the industry, and out-of-the box thinking she became director of sales.
In December, 2006 Ms. Chooljian assumed the position of Vice President/Associate Publisher. In her expanded role she works closely with Rhoads and Radio Ink Editor-In-Chief Joe Howard to further the publication’s mission of providing radio industry executives with fresh, compelling content and ideas to help make their businesses more successful.
Prior to joining Radio Ink, Chooljian worked in advertising sales for the South Florida Newspaper Network, a division of the Sun-Sentinel, where she was among the top sellers across the group’s 33 newspapers. Prior to that, Chooljian spent 20 years as an interior designer in the West Palm Beach area. A native of Worcester, MA, she is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA with a B.S. in fashion merchandising/interior design. She has one son and two grandchildren who reside in the Boston area.
