AWRT History
AWRT was founded in 1950 when the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) decided
to discontinue its women's division, the
Association of Women Broadcasters. The NAB
Board voted approval of a new organization,
offering complete cooperation and assistance
until the new organization could work out
the details of a separate operation.
The following
year, over 250 women gathered to approve
the structure of the new organization that
is now American Women in Radio and Television,
Inc.
