The IRTS Foundation
INTERNATIONAL RADIO & TELEVISION SOCIETY FOUNDATION
ACCESS ♦ EDUCATION ♦ DIVERSITY
The IRTS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to bringing together the wisdom of yesterday’s founders, the power of today’s leaders, and the promise of tomorrow’s young professionals to build the next generation of media leaders, which we feel should more accurately reflect the diverse demographic of today’s media consumers. To achieve this, IRTS has spent over 35 years actively supporting diversity through our programs and initiatives.
IRTS provides education through access with a series of academic programs, industry events, and mentorship pipelines. Our membership ranges from the most accomplished professionals in the media and entertainment business to those who are just beginning their careers. We are an organization that firmly believes education is a life-long process, and take great pride in having an engaged, supportive community of program alumni and industry executives, alike.
IRTS’s academic programs include the Summer Fellowship Program, Multicultural Career Workshop, Broadcast Sales Associate Program, and Faculty/ Industry Seminar. We invite you to learn more about IRTS’s programs, events, and community at large by exploring this site!
