One of the original members of the WBA’s Young Professionals (YP) Committee is stepping down as chair.
Terry Stevenson was also one of the founding organizers of the YP event known as the “Toolbox” which will take place Feb. 21 at Lambeau Field. It will be Stevenson’s last activity as a member and chair of the committee. He’s Vice President of Seehafer Broadcasting.
“It’s been my privilege to not only have been actively involved in the WBA YP committee for so many years but to have actually been a part of its inception, as well as events including The Toolbox and the WBA Mentorship Program.” Stevenson said. “It was also my true honor to receive the inaugural YP of the Year Award in 2020. My grandfather, Don Seehafer, was an active member of the WBA and it brings me a lot of joy to follow in his footsteps.”
Taking the role of chair is WMTV-TV News Anchor, and current YP Committee member Gabriella Rusk.
“I’m thrilled to be the next chair of the WBA YP Committee! I believe fostering relationships and mentorships between younger broadcasters across the state is the best way to ensure the strength of our industry for years to come,” Rusk said. “I’ve enjoyed working alongside the other young professionals through my involvement with the YP Committee since 2022. It’s been an honor to learn from Terry Stevenson’s leadership and I look forward to continuing his great work with YP events like The Toolbox in February.”
Stevenson said, “I’m excited for the future of our industry and the WBA, and very excited to watch as Gabriella takes the YP Committee to new levels under her leadership.”
Stevenson also serves on the WBA Board of Directors.
