2025 was rich with new mentoring opportunities, see MIW 2025 Wrapped: 

400+ Hours Invested: Dedicated 1:1 mentor:mentee time, solidifying a foundation for future success.

• 17 Careers Launched: Empowered a new class of 17 mentees across 17 robust mentorship programs.

• 9 Leaders Elevated: Sponsored attendance for 9 mentees at NAB in Las Vegas, providing critical exposure.

• A New Era of Digital: Kicked off our groundbreaking first Digital Sales Mentorship program.

• 125+ Celebrated: Hosted our annual, sold-out Lipstick & Lobster dinner, gathering key leaders and friends.

• 50+ Connectors: Brought together 50+ industry supporters at The Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago.

• Legendary Tributes: Recognized Deborah Parenti (Trailblazer), Karen Carson (Airblazer), and Dan Spears (Erica Farber Impact Award) for their monumental impact.

Our work is informed by the data. The 2025 MIW Gender Analysis Study (based on 2024 data) highlighted the critical need for our mentorship and support programs:

THE MIW ENGINE: This movement is driven by the commitment of 50+ powerhouse women in the industry who donate their invaluable time and talent to our shared mission.

While our board and mentors are all volunteers, every mentorship carries approximately $2,500 in overhead, per mentee. We bring our mentees to the NAB in Las Vegas to learn, network and further grow in their careers.  

Your support of our initiatives would be greatly appreciated.
