The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT), founded in 1951, is an international organisation with a global membership of professional women actively engaged in the production and management of programmes in the electronic media or in fields closely allied to broadcasting.
Because we are an international organization, the site is proving to be a useful tool for sharing information, resources, links and news with each other between the times we see one another.
