Cory Quirk will be joining as our Administrative Assistant, coordinating day-to-day operations and providing technical support. He says, “I’m delighted to be joining the WTIP team as Administrative Assistant. I studied anthropology at Hamline and have worked in archaeology and software development, having moved to Grand Marais a year ago. I’ve most recently taught technology classes at GES.”
Katie Houlihan Belanger joins as our new Development Director, and will be responsible for planning and executing our membership drives as well as developing underwriting, and fundraising initiatives.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of WTIP, an organization that has provided the insight and soundtrack to our family’s latest and most exciting chapter yet.”
Cory and Katie will be joining us on April 15. Executive Director Matthew Brown comments, “We are very excited to welcome both Cory and Katie to our team at WTIP, as their skills will bring added depth to their departments and to community radio here on the North Shore.”
