The International Radio and Television Society
Foundation evolved from an organization founded
in 1939 to provide education and dialogue about important
communication issues. As the industry confronts change
at every level, the need for a forum capable of helping
create a shared body of knowledge and information continues
to grow.
The Foundation offers New York City based educational
luncheons, seminars, and workshops which cater to a
diverse range of media interests and demographics.
Members take pride in belonging to an organization long
applauded for its inspiring work in the academic community,
as well as for its minority outreach. We are an organization
that believes education is a life-long process that
is best achieved through first-hand knowledge.
Whether you are a successful business man or woman,
an aspiring professional, a college educator, or simply
a media enthusiast, keeping abreast of the increasingly
complex electronic media world is a formidable task.
While the lines between broadcast television and radio,
cable, telephony, and the computer industry may be blurring,
one thing remains clear—we all have an affinity
for a business that entertains, informs, educates, and
serves the American public in a meaningful way. The
IRTS Foundation provides a unique common forum for all
segments of the communication industry. Our
members enjoy sharing insight and ideas with colleagues
during the season’s numerous events.
The ultimate goal of the IRTS Foundation is
to bring together the wisdom of yesterday's founders,
the power of today's leaders, and the promise of tomorrow's
young professionals.
