Erica Farber is the CEO of the Radio Advertising Bureau in the United States. And the picture says it all: She loves radio! If you ever get the feeling that no one has your back in radio, stop by the website and you will remember the great things radio has going for it. There are tools, tips and tricks for non-members, but as we discussed - membership does have its privileges.She has a storied career that spans great decades at stations with legendary call letters. (Think KRTH, KABC and KIIS in Los Angeles) Many who enjoyed their radio years where an R&R magazine circulated the building, will remember her columns and contributions, including the infamous "back page". Titles like Publisher, COO and CEO came quickly after.
You will be able to meet Erica across North America this year, including at the Western Association of Broadcasters Conference which will be held in Banff June 7th and 8th.
