Throughout my career, I’ve always been a firm believer in continuing education. As the world around us evolves and technology advances, communication styles change and influence the way people interact with the world on a daily basis. As professionals in the business world and specifically in the broadcasting industry, it is important for us to stay current with the changes around us, both to better serve our clients and our audiences as well as to stay relevant within our networks and communities. I’m excited to announce that this summer, together with my partner Hannah Anderson, I am combining my belief in continuing education with my passion for supporting and equipping young professionals by introducing “The Toolbox” at the WBA Summer Conference.
“The Toolbox” is a one-day conference specifically geared for young professionals, taking place Friday, June 22 at the Hilton City Center in downtown Milwaukee. The purpose of “The Toolbox” is to provide skills and resources for well-rounded young professionals in the broadcasting industry by fostering better communication skills in the workplace, encouraging stronger relationships within communities, and creating dynamic leaders in the industry. By sharpening the tools that young professionals use on a day-to-day basis, whole organizations will benefit and become stronger and the industry itself will continue to move forward in a competitive and relevant way. “The Toolbox” is a completely reimagined conference, unlike anything the WBA has ever done before, with dynamic speakers from all over Wisconsin and beyond.
I’d like to encourage you to consider enrolling your young professionals in this one-day conference. The cost is only $35 per participant, and the value is immeasurable.
For more information or to become an official sponsor for this year’s event, please contact myself at (920) 242-0560 or by emailing terrystevenson@me.com.
I’d like to thank our current sponsors for helping to make “The Toolbox” possible. Without these supporters, we would not be able to host such an event.
