OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The great contribution HRTS has made to its members, the entertainment industry and the community at large is well recognized. The creation of a junior membership division continues this tradition of community-building, and allows HRTS to do what no other organization ever has; to nurture those young professionals working in the industry who are not yet executives, the future of HRTS and the television, radio, new media and advertising industries.
Jr. HRTS is the Junior Membership for the Hollywood Radio and Television Society. This junior society was created by Astrid Oviedo Miano, an assistant at Artists Television Group. In August of 2000, Astrid presented the idea of a Jr. HRTS to then HRTS president Tom Nunan. The idea was, and still is, a membership that is exclusive to the assistant through coordinator levels from any area in the entertainment industry especially assistants from television studios, networks, agencies and production companies.
Over the past three years, this society has been developed and run by the Jr. HRTS Board. The board is comprised of assistants, coordinators and associates from all areas of the entertainment industry (studios, agencies and networks). The board has worked to build the Jr. HRTS under the following mandates:
EDUCATION
The Junior Membership of the HRTS mirrors its senior counterpart's "Newsmaker Luncheons," by holding six evening lectures a year conducted by industry leaders, most often followed by a question and answer session. These sessions also afford Jr. HRTS members a chance to meet their peers over refreshments before and after the lectures.
CHARITY
Junior members are beginning to get involved with charity events around town, begininng with this year's AIDS Walk.
COLLABORATION
Junior members are invited to assist with the promotion and production of HRTS Newsmaker Luncheons and the annual International Broadcasting Awards.
NETWORKING
All the above educational and charitable events allow for members to meet their peers in a professional forum.
