Our Initiatives

CONnection Hour

We host quarterly virtual networking mixers designed to convene thought-provoking conversations that are fun and interesting, and not a waste of time. In a world where we’re all in need of some work + life balance, these meetups are designed to open your mind and expand your thinking with a dash of socializing and networking.

Public MEDIA CEO/COO BOOTCAMP

The Public Media CEO/COO Boot Camp is an intensive, seven month program for three classes of fellows over three years. The industry’s first CEO/COO Boot Camp will provide education and hands-on experiences in critical aspects of station knowledge and management.

The expected outcome of the program is to expose CEO/COO candidates to the core concepts, players and resources in these key verticals so that they have confidence & knowledge to apply for the positions, and when the Boot Camp ends, they know who and where to reach out to when they’re in the C-suite and need additional guidance.

ambassadors

Public Media Women in Leadership (PMWL) launched its Ambassador Initiative in 2020 with the aim to bring fresh and current perspectives to the forefront of the organization by tapping into the diverse talent of women within our industry.

Ambassadors serve as conveners and advocates for PMWL by participating in a variety of roles including research and content leads, webinar producers, social media experts, event moderators/hosts/facilitators, among others.
