Leonard Poole

Adrian College student, and MAB Foundation Student Advisory Committee Member, Leonard Poole (@leodogjournalism), has accepted a new position as News Producer at MAB member station WILX-TV (Lansing).

“One of the things that helped me get my foot in the door was being a part of the MAB Foundation,” he said. “I attended the job fair and interviewed right on the spot with many news stations.  Afterwards, many stations reached out for second interviews, and I was offered multiple contracts! Being involved with the MAB and MAB Foundation helped me get my foot in the door and I want to thank you all!”

Congratulations to Leonard, we wish you much success at News 10!

If your station has made a successful hire as a result of a MAB Foundation event or program, we’d love to hear from you! Send an email to mabf@michmab.com
