MILDRED CARTER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The MIW Mildred Carter Mentoring Program selects a total of four candidates from the radio industry - within sales, marketing, programming and digital disciplines. Now in its 21st year, this robust opportunity matches up-and-coming women in radio with female professionals recognized as leaders in all aspects of the industry.
The MIW Group Mildred Carter Mentoring Program is named in the memory of Mildred Carter, who, along with her husband Andrew "Skip" Carter, founded the first African American owned radio station in the U.S. in 1950, when they turned on KPRS Kansas City, Missouri. Mrs. Carter ran the Carter Broadcast Group for many years, after the death of Skip Carter, before turning over control of the company to her grandson Michael Carter in 1987.
