Morning Show Boot Camp Wrap Up

Congratulations to Don Anthony for another successful Morning Show Boot Camp this past week in Chicago.

Above is the pre-panel photo just before DeDe in the Morning moderated Diversity: Radio's Widening Path To Success. The panel included Tino Cochino, Dana Cortez, Shoboy, Kenny Smoov, and Frank Ski.

At many radio conventions, most attendees and speakers are men. Our industry has made slow progress in hiring women for on-air and leadership roles.

It was encouraging to see prominent women like DeDe McGuire and Charese Fruge moderate panels, as well as other notable female panelists including Dana Cortez, Angela Yee, Kristin Klingshirn of The Bert Show, and Susan Larkin.

What Women Want In Their Next Radio Job

What can radio learn from industries like health care, marketing and business operations where men and women are hired more equally?

In Recruiting Women Takes More Than Just Competitive Pay by Kristin Barry, hiring managers in radio might learn from a Gallup survey of what factors are most important for women in considering a job.

1. Allows for greater work-life balance and better personal wellbeing
2. Significantly increases my income or improves my benefits package
3. Allows me to do what I do best
4. Provides greater stability and job security
5. The organization is diverse and inclusive of all types of people
