Winners of the Rosalie Award (now Trailblazer Honours Award)

When Radio Trailblazers launched the goal was to support and recognize trailblazers in radio. The committee did so, in part, by creating the Rosalie Award, an award named after the renowned influential Music Director of the Top 40 powerhouse CKLW-AM “The Big 8” (Detroit/Windsor), Rosalie was also the first-ever recipient of the Rosalie Award in 2005.

Previous Rosalie Award recipients are women who have had successful careers in the radio industry and are seen as leaders, mentors, and people making a difference in our business.
