" It has been an amazing experience for me to watch this group
(MIW) grab hold of this concept and turn it into a meaningful program.
The results are obvious, and will make a difference in our industry.
Support of this effort truly falls into the category of "What
can I do to make this industry stronger" I applaud all of the
MIW members and encourage you to continue these efforts. Lots of
people have great ideas, but it is rare that those ideas become
reality. This is one of those situations. I look forward to seeing
this effort continue to expand, and give you my full support and
encouragement.“

"Mentoring programs have proven to be remarkably effective in accelerating the professional growth of employees in many facets of our business. The program developed by the MIW’s offers an exceptional opportunity to advance the careers of bright, talented women who have a strong passion for Radio, by matching them with some of the most respected women in the industry. It's clearly a win-win situation for all involved, and most worthy of our encouragement and support."

“Radio
has made great strides in terms of bringing a diversity of views
to the table, but there is still much to do in terms of putting
women and minorities into positions of power. That's why it is important
that we all support opportunities for the sharing of wisdom and
experience. The MIW Group Mentoring Program has the potential to
help shape the future of American radio by making it possible for
more talented women to grow into leadership roles.”
