The McIntosh Scholarship, one of the awards given at MFM's Annual Conference, is named for Steve McIntosh, the former Vice President/General Manager of Belo Advertising's Customer Services unit, who died unexpectedly in April 2011. The MFM Board created this scholarship to honor Steve's many contributions to the industry and to help inspire other rising stars. Given to two individuals under 35 who are currently employed by a media provider, the two recipients of the 2024 McIntosh Scholarship are deserving, indeed.
This ”Up & Comers” video interview shines a spotlight on one of them, Kayla Bower, Senior Accounting Manager at Sinclair Broadcast Group in Birmingham, AL, who, after receiving her Master's degree in accounting, joined Sinclair Broadcast Group in 2018 and has been moving up the ranks of the finance group since then. Tune in here to learn what makes Kayla a rising star in her field and at Sinclair, why she valued getting an advanced degree -- and she's not done yet! -- why she loves Sinclair's culture, how she contributes to the company, and her greater career ambitions. Kayla had a real presence at the 2024 Annual Conference in Jacksonville and tells us why she loved the conference and the ways in which she takes advantage of her membership in MFM.
