KQED Welcomes Six New Members to Community Advisory Panel
We have assembled a CAP reflecting the diversity and depth of our KQED audience. This year’s panel members come from different regions, backgrounds and areas of interest — and all share a passion for meaningful and engaging community-driven content. We are deeply invested in developing innovative and inspiring programming at KQED. We look forward to building strong bonds with our community through outreach, special events and cultural celebrations. I am honored to be serving as chair of the advisory panel and welcome your programming thoughts, ideas and feedback.
