The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) is an international organisation with world wide membership of professional women actively engaged in the production and management of programmes in the electronic media or in fields closely allied to broadcasting.          The organisation was founded in 1951.

Because we are an international organization, the site is proving to be a really useful tool for sharing information, resources, links and news with each other in between the times we see one another.

If you are involved in any organization or work that you think would be of interest to our members and to people visiting the site, please let us know and we can provide links to those sites.

I urge our members and other women working in radio and television to submit stories, articles, updates, information, rants and raves to the site and we will consider all input for publication. Please use the site to tell us about the interesting projects you are working on or know about.

All submissions to be sent to nik@netactive.co.za in a WORD document and photos should be sent in jpeg format.

If you would          like to become a member of IAWRT, please fill in the forms found on the          ABOUT IAWRT page
