RESOLVED,
That the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Expresses Its Deep Appreciation for the Contributions of
Fred DeMarco
Executive Vice President, CPB
Convener of the Modern Public Broadcasting System
Winner, Ralph Lowell Medal
The Board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting extends its sincere thanks to Fred DeMarco for his role in creating the modern public broadcasting system and his contributions to the success of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Throughout his nearly two decades at CPB, Fred DeMarco has focused on strengthening relationships throughout the public broadcasting system, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect in which issues and opportunities -- from the funding crisis of the mid 1990's to the challenges of new technology -- could be addressed in a collegial way. That spirit of collegiality and cooperation provides a strong foundation for advancing public broadcasting's mission far into the future.
Fred DeMarco brought to this work a deep grounding in history, a thorough knowledge of the issues, and commitment to the people who make public broadcasting a reality. His accomplishments have been recognized by his peers with every major public broadcasting award, including CPB's Lowell Award.
We, the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are profoundly grateful for the work, leadership, commitment, and friendship of Fred DeMarco.
