What is IRTS?

The IRTS Foundation is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization with a membership that ranges from the most accomplished professionals in the media and entertainment industry to those who are just beginning their careers. IRTS is a place where people care and share, where competitive barriers and corporate hierarchy give way to a common forum, so that the best our industry has to offer can be learned and exchanged. 

The mission of IRTS is to BUILD FUTURE MEDIA LEADERS via ACCESS...EDUCATION...DIVERSITY.

We bring together the wisdom and power of today's leaders and the promise of tomorrow's young industry professionals. IRTS believes education is a life-long process that is best achieved through first-hand knowledge. While we offer a variety of programs (some of which are complimentary to members) and events that you will find to be of personal value, members take special pride in knowing that their membership donation helps to ensure the success of our long-applauded academic outreach programs such as the Summer Fellowships, Multicultural Career Workshop, and Faculty Seminars. 

IRTS gives you unique access to the decision makers who are shaping the course of media and entertainment history, as well as to those who will one day inherit their legacy. Together, we can make sure that our industry is principled, diverse, and ethical...as well as armed with training programs to ensure that the business responsible for informing, entertaining, and educating the public is the very best that it can be in this exciting digital age!
