Speak Up! is a one-year mentorship program created in partnership with Media Staffing Network Founder and CEO Laurie Kahn before her passing. The program encapsulates so much of what Laurie brought to the industry; a mentorship that encourages and empowers women to develop confidence, sharpen communication skills and hone the ability to effectively speak up in order to further attain career and personal goals.
One candidate from radio broadcasting, located in a small to medium radio market from any department, will be selected for the 2023 program. The selected Mentee will be jointly mentored by MIW's network and Media Staffing Network’s coaches. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2023.

Media Staffing Network Vice President and General Manager Patty Kincaid added, “We are honored to partner with MIW to create the “Speak Up” program commemorating our late founder, Laurie Kahn.
