Louisville Public Media Names Stephen George Pres./GM

Stephen George

The LOUISVILLE PUBLIC MEDIA board of trustees has chosen STEPHEN GEORGE to be its next Pres./GM, effective immediately. GEORGE has been serving as its interim PRESIDENT since former Pres. MICHAEL SKOLER resigned in JANUARY.

“After an extensive search involving multiple nationally-known candidates and days of in-person interviews, STEPHEN emerged as the clear leader to take LPM to further heights,” LPM Board Pres. TODD LOWE said. “We believe his vision and leadership will carry LPM to significant success in our mission to serve our community.”

“Great journalism, music and the arts have the power to make communities better. Everyone at LOUISVILLE PUBLIC MEDIA comes to work with a passion for serving that mission every single day,” GEORGE said. “At a time of broken trust and social upheaval, we are a trusted source of news and information, an arbiter of the arts and a cultural wayfinder for the place we love and serve. I look forward to a future where LPM is serving our city, state and region even more deeply through radio, digital channels and face-to-face connections.”

LOUISVILLE PUBLIC MEDIA conducted a national search in collaboration with DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES, inc. (DRi), one of the country’s foremost executive search firms for non-profit organizations. “It is a testament to the talented staff at LOUISVILLE PUBLIC MEDIA that STEPHEN was ready to step into this role, and it is a testament to the leadership of the Board that they were able to recognize that local talent as they reviewed accomplished candidates from across the country,” DRi principal NANCY RACETTE said.
