Seven graduates of the Walker Broadcast Management Institute got their briefcases on April 25 as the Institute marked the beginning of another three-year cycle.
The Institute is designed for broadcast managers and those seeking or being prepared for broadcast management positions. It’s held at the UW School of Business on the UW-Madison campus.
This year the students heard from Tom Walker on financial management, Sarah Smyrk on building high performing teams, and Paul Riehemann on the brain science of optimal leadership. Lecturer Adam Bock spoke at the graduation dinner at the Fluno Center about the AI challenge in the media industry.
This year’s graduates are:
Kristin Shill – WQOW-TV
Craig Dillion – Seehafer Broadcasting
Lupita Montoto – WLMV-AM
Dani Maxwell – WKOW-TV
Suzanne Hoffman – WCOW
Tracy Sabo – KTUU/KYES
Adam Donner – WSAW-TV
The graduates get briefcases to mark their accomplishment.
The next Institute courses will be held April 15-17, 2025 on the UW-Madison campus.
The Institute is funded by an endowment from the estate of William R. Walker. It represents the largest single contribution ever received by the WBA Foundation.
