Greetings Fellow Broadcasters!

In June, we held our Q2 Board of Directors meeting, where we reviewed our strategic plan and discussed key initiatives for the remainder of the year. Our retreat provided an excellent opportunity to align our goals and set a clear path forward. I appreciate everyone’s participation and dedication to our shared vision.

A quick reminder: station awards submissions are due today, July 1. Please ensure all entries are submitted on time. If you have any questions or need assistance, reach out to the KAB at info@kab.net.

Additionally, nominations for individual awards, including the Mike Oatman, Sonny Slater, Hall of Fame and Rising Star awards, are due by August 1. This is a fantastic opportunity to recognize the outstanding contributions of your colleagues. Email your nominations to Allison at allison@kab.net. For more information on the individual awards, please read below.

We are also excited to announce that KAB-Funded internship applications for the fall are due today, July 1st. This program is a wonderful opportunity for stations to bring in fresh talent and provide hands-on experience to the next generation of broadcasters. Don’t miss out on this chance to enhance your team.

As the summer heat continues, I want to remind everyone to stay cool and hydrated. Broadcasting can be demanding, especially during these hot months, so please take care of yourselves.
