The Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio Group awarded the 2018 “MIW Rising Star Award” to Neuhoff Media AE Karalee Misner at the 11th annual “Rising Through the Ranks” Women in Radio Management & Leadership Training Program.
Misner’s radio career began in 2017 with Neuhoff Media in Decatur. Before entering the broadcasting industry, she was the Marketing Director at Land of Lincoln Credit Union in Decatur. A 2008 graduate of Illinois State University, Karalee has been named one of the Business Journal of Central Illinois’s 20 People Under 40 Making a Difference in our Community. In 2015, she received the Top High Achiever award for her leadership efforts within the credit union. Karalee is an active community member serving on local boards including the Decatur Rotary Club and the Mt. Zion Chamber of Commerce.
Formed from an alliance with Marketron in 2016, the MIW Rising Star is named in honor and memory of the late Renée Roth, Marketron’s longtime Vice President of International Sales. Now it its third year, it is awarded to the top-scoring scholarship applicant from the annual program and includes a scholarship to attend the Radio Show produced by the RAB and NAB.
Congrats Karalee. Lots of smart women were in this group so it takes a special person to outshine them all. Best of luck!
