Statement to our Listeners about Governance & Management Changes
From the desk of the Pacifica Acting Interim Executive Director:
Hi, I'm Grace Aaron. I was elected Chair of the Pacifica Foundation's National Board of Directors on Feb. 1, 2009. As Pacifica currently does not have an Executive Director, the Bylaws state that I must fill that position until an interim or permanent Executive Director is hired. The other PNB officers are Vice Chair, Joe Wanzala, PNB Director from KPFA in Berkeley, and our pro tem Secretary, Efia Nwangaza, one of our two PNB Affiliate Directors.
I have deep roots as a Peace Activist. As Chair of Peace Action of
Southern California I coordinated 13 of its chapters from the mid '80's
to mid '90s as well as acting as Co Chair of the Peace Action Network,
a broad based coalition of 27 peace and justice organizations. I have
produced over 200 cable access TV shows on peace, environmental and
social justice issues. Many are now webcast. I am currently an active
Board Member and Treasurer of the local branch of Women's International
League for Peace & Freedom. I have spent much of the last 5 years
serving on the Pacifica and KPFK Boards.
As Lonnie Hicks is no longer the Pacifica CFO, the Board voted to
appoint an Interim Chief Financial Officer (iCFO). We are excited to
have LaVarn Williams as our interim CFO and I hope you will give her a
warm welcome as she joins our new team. LaVarn comes highly
qualified. Besides a substantial career in corporate financial
management, she was the Treasurer of the Pacifica National Board during
2006 and 2007.
My personal efforts will be directed to help the Board, staff,
volunteers and listeners to effectively put the Pacifica Mission into
action. Our aim will be to work cooperatively to strengthen the
Pacifica Foundation, to broaden our reach and to create progressive
change in our communities, our nation and the world.
In peace,
Grace Aaron, Pacifica Foundation Board Chair and acting interim Executive Director
