This
year's career day will include a new "Speed Mentoring" session
hosted by members of the Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio Group
(MIW) and American Women in Radio & Television (AWRT). The 90-minute
session will feature a series of individual meetings with professionals
in radio programming, sales, marketing and management. During these timed
sessions, attendees will receive one-on-one instruction on how to best
obtain career goals and advance in radio. "Career
Day provides an excellent opportunity for job seekers to network and meet
with professionals in broadcasting," said NAB Education Foundation
President Marcellus Alexander. "NABEF's commitment to diversity and
career advancement for aspiring broadcasters will be further enhanced
by the addition of AWRT and MIW's mentoring session." Attendees
will also have the opportunity to participate in "Measuring a Successful
Career," a session that examines the methods used for gathering audience
information for radio stations and advertising organizations. During the
session, participants will learn how measuring the habits and preferences
of listeners impacts radio broadcasting. The
NABEF-BEA-RTNDA Radio Show Career Day is free, and open to experienced
professionals, students and entry-level job seekers. For more information,

the NABEF
Career Day Web site or contact Michelle
