The RAB, BMI, and Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) will hold the 16th annual Rising Through the Ranks program in August. A virtual event will be held Aug. 13 from 11am-2pm (CT) before the participants meet in person in Nashville from Aug. 20-22.
As in years past, BMI will offer 20 scholarships, which will cover the cost of the professional development course, which is geared toward fostering and educating the current and emerging female managers in broadcast radio.
“BMI is proud to continue its longstanding support of the Rising Through the Ranks program and the work they do to empower emerging female executives through mentorship, education, and networking,” Sandye Taylor, Senior VP and Chief DEI Officer at BMI, said in a release. “We’re looking forward to hosting the talented incoming class and the industry leaders who will share invaluable insights and offer guidance to help participants take their careers to the next level. It’s going to be an enriching experience for all involved.”

“Rising Through the Ranks has played a significant role in establishing a foundation of leadership for numerous women in our industry, and we are honored to continue our partnership with this program,” said Ruth Presslaff, President of the MIW Board. “We eagerly anticipate this year’s applications and are excited to help shape the class of 2024.”
Erica Farber, outgoing President and CEO of the RAB, added “This program is the opportunity for rising radio leaders to come together and learn key skills to further their professional development and personal growth. Rising Through the Ranks offers participants a rare chance to connect with our panel of speakers and build their own networks with women from across the U.S. and its various markets.”
