The Next Generation of Media Executives in New York State

The New York State Broadcasters Association Futures Committee was developed to more fully engage the next generation of media executives of New York state. Committee members engage in conversations throughout the year with the NYSBA Board of Directors to educate the Committee on future broadcast business strategies and community engagement strategies. In addition, the Futures Committee joins the Board of Directors on the annual state association Call on Congress in Washington DC to advocate for legislative issues impacting the broadcasting industry across the various markets in New York state.
