The Women In Training organization will be hosting its 3rd Annual 5K Race to End Poverty. Period! this Saturday, Oct. 8th in Montgomery.

Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. in Old Alabama Town, located at 301 Columbus Street.

As a News Director at WVAS-FM, Melanie leads her team to produce award- winning newscasts and talk shows. Her professional achievements includes News Reporter of the Year for a number of years and awards for talk show producer, by the Alabama Broadcasters Association and the Associated Press. She is an active member of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce. Her goals are to expand the reach of WVAS FM into more homes locally, regionally and nationally.
