Managing Director – Getting Better Foundation Impact Producer – “Trust Me” award-winning documentary Along with Getting Better’s Founder & CEO, Joe Phelps, Rosemary believes it’s a great time to be alive, although not everyone believes that to be the case. Could media “ill-literacy” be part of the dilemma affecting mental well-being, polarization of communities, racism, anxiety, depression, and suicidology? The Foundation’s mission of building trust through the truth about the positive evolution of human progress supports media literacy education and has produced the award-winning documentary “Trust Me” to bring awareness of what may be the most important topic of our time. Rosemary was Vice President & National Sales Manager for Eagle Radio Group, headquartered in Northern Michigan. She did everything from copywriting to advertising sales & community involvement, while managing sales and creative staff. Rosemary and her husband, Kent built their media group from the ground up, including radio towers, buildings and talent. In one of the worst economic downturns the state of Michigan ever faced, Eagle Radio became the “go-to” for listeners and media clients in dozens of markets. They were named “The Voice” of Northern Michigan for their award-winning morning shows in each of the markets they served. Their motto of “take care of our communities and they’ll take care of us” set the bar for service above self. In 2018, the Smiths sold their group of radio stations, relocating to Montana to be closer to their 4 adult children. That’s where Rosemary met Joe Phelps, founder and CEO of the Getting Better Foundation. Realizing their missions were closely aligned, Rosemary came on board as Managing Director for the foundation, whose mission is to “Build trust through truth about the positive evolution of human behavior”. Rosemary cemented the foundation’s world class advisory board of scientists, psychologists, neuro-economists, journalists, and media literacy specialists. She recruited Hollywood talent to direct and produce the multi award winning feature documentary, “Trust Me” and is spearheading it’s global distribution. Rosemary’s passion for making things better for everyone she meets and the environment she loves makes her a perfect fit for the Foundation. Her research, writing, networking and communication skills are assets used to drive the documentary project forward and bring others onboard.
