Rising Through the Ranks Encourages Female Radio Executives
Three of BMI’s most talented female songwriters were the featured performers at the annual dinner of the 2010 Rising Through the Ranks (RTTR) program, a two day workshop for women radio executives looking to move into senior management or ownership. Natalie Hemby, Caitlyn Smith and Kelly Archer cranked out a number of smashes that they have written for Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Lee Ann Womack, Jason Aldean and others. Each year, BMI awards 25 scholarships to women in the radio industry so that they may attend the seminar, which is presented by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and supported by the Mentoring Women in Radio (MIW) group. Pictured after the performance are (front row, seated) Caitlyn Smith, Natalie Hemby and Kelly Archer, with BMI’s Alison Smith and the RTTR class of 2010 standing behind them.
