The Mentoring & Inspiring Women (MIW) in Radio Group has announced that Heidi Raphael, Director of Corporate Communication at Greater Media, Inc., has been chosen to succeed Joan Gerberding as Spokesperson of the Mentoring and Inspiring Women (MIW) Radio Group.

"Having held this position since we launched the MIW group in 2000, I felt, and the Executive Committee agreed, that it was time to pass the torch and get a new perspective from someone who had industry clout and insight," commented Gerberding. "Heidi was the perfect choice."

“I am honored and humbled to represent such an outstanding group of women leaders in our industry,” said Raphael. “I am especially grateful to MIW Radio Group founder & Spokesperson Joan Gerberding and all the MIWs for their incredible support as we move forward in our mission of working together with the radio industry in advocating the advancement of women to senior positions in broadcasting.”
