What to Expect from Rising Through the Ranks:

In this women's leadership program, you will join an exceptional group of females in the radio industry to take your management and leadership skills to the next level. As you explore emerging research and best practices, share experiences and insights, and try out new ideas in a supportive environment, you'll prepare to contribute more fully to your organization's ongoing success.

This program will help you lead with lasting impact and build strategic advantages for your company. You will emerge reenergized about your career and empowered with a realistic agenda for change in your company - and in your own approach to leadership.

To be considered for this program, you must apply before 5pm Central Time on Wednesday, June 5th, 2019. A minimum of one year radio or sales experience is required for consideration. All information is confidential and will not be released to third parties.

What You Will Learn:

Learning alongside other emerging female leaders from around the country, you will engage in a rich learning experience that includes presentations from top level executives in the industry, small-group exercises, self-assessments, and personal coaching. The program features sessions on leadership, gender in the workplace, and emerging best practices that are helping today's most successful companies outperform the competition. As you learn how other successful women and men have overcome challenges in their industries, their companies, and their personal interactions, you will expand your repertoire of leadership strategies.

You will develop your own RTTR "board of directors" -- a new network of like-minded females that will help you apply your learning and continue developing as a leader long after the program.

How Rising Through the Ranks Has Affected Others:

"Rising Through the Ranks has opened my eyes to how many women in radio are in your corner -- fighting for you to achieve anything you set your sights on. I learned to not hold myself back by putting up my own 'I can't...' roadblocks, but to instead lean in and give it my all. I now have a #GirlTribe standing behind me, lifting me up and cheering me on."

Kalie Schuster AE -- Leighton Broadcasting

"It's always empowering to be with a group of intelligent, hard working women who aspire to become leaders and difference makers in this industry. We are in a class among ourselves where we 'get' each other without having to explain. It's a group of women who lift each other up wishing for success, not just for ourselves but for all of our sisters."

Allyson Hillman DOS -- Beasley Media Group

"Attending Rising Through the Ranks was one of the most rewarding and educational experiences I have had in my radio career thus far! Listening to other women leaders in the radio industry share their ideas, passions, ambitions, and concerns was inspiring and encouraging. RTTR reminded me of how proud I am to be in the radio business and of how proud I am to be a woman."

Amy R. Stroud Senior Vice President -- Forcht Broadcasting

"I have zero doubt that Rising Through the Ranks will not only change my career -- but it will change my LIFE. To be surrounded by so much enthusiasm for our industry, along with the support and tools to go forward and make it better every day is a true gift. These women in the RTTR Class of 2018 and our mentors are incredible examples of intelligence, strength, and passion. I am proud to be part of this new tribe and I cannot wait to celebrate all of their successes. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this transformative, uplifting program!"

Amy Senne Foxx Operations Manager -- Leighton Broadcasting

"Rising Through the Ranks was a wonderful experience that not only introduced me to a new tribe of inspiring women I connect with professionally and personally, but provided me with a renewed feeling of empowerment to take with me as I continue to build relationships within my organization and strengthen my personal brand."

Renee Hartman VP Sales -- Katz Radio Group

"RTTR was such an amazing experience for me. I am somewhat new to the radio industry, so being able to witness all of these powerful women in radio was such a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed hearing all of the different perspectives as it is easy to get 'tunnel vision' in your own market. I am so honored to be a member of the RTTR Class of 2018!"
