Our History
AWRT was formed in 1951 when the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) discontinued its women's division, the Association of Women Directors (AWD).  The NAB Board voted approval of a new organization, offering complete cooperation and assistance until the new organization could work out the details of separate operation. The following year, over 280 women gathered to approve the structure of the new organization.

Our Initiatives
Government and regulatory advocacy, publications, job information services, professional development programs and educational networking opportunities.
