Biography
My day job is Sr VP, System Resources and Technology, at National Public Radio. I was its Exec VP (interim) from 1/09-4/09, Interim President & CEO from 10/08-1/09, and Interim CEO from 3/08-9/08. Prior to that, I was the long-time Assoc VP & General Manager of Educational & Public Media at Washington State University. I served on the NPR board from 7/05 until 3/08 (chair 11/07-3/08) and again from 10/08-1/09. I'm currently on the board of American Public Television. I've previously served on the boards of National Public Media (chair), the Public Broadcasting Service, Ass'n of Public Television Stations, University Licensee Ass'n, Integrated Media Ass'n, Station Resource Group, Pacific Mountain Network and other public broadcasting organizations. From 2001-03, I took a half-time leave of absence to head up the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's Digital Distribution Implementation Initiative and have done occasional consulting for public broadcasting organizations.
I'm widowed and have three adult children and two grandchildren. For more information see my Linkedin profile.
