The Board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting recognizes the extraordinary contributions of Carol Pierson, an admired and respected leader in public broadcasting.
During her tenure, the NFCB expanded its membership by more than one third and significantly increased the revenue it receives from station membership fees. Ms. Pierson was instrumental in the creation of Native Public Media and the Latino Public Radio Consortium. She was an early and ardent supporter of Low Power FM and the FCC's 2007 window for new Non-commercial Educational stations. NFCB, under Ms. Pierson's leadership has helped dozens of new stations get on the air.
We, the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, are profoundly grateful for the work, leadership, commitment, and dedication of Carol Pierson, who helped shape community radio.
