John, 

Thank you for the run down and for all your work for change. 
It sounds like we may have a good new GM (reading between the lines). 
I can only hope! 
sincerely, 
Kelly 
PS I think your show was all about money not Monday. Hopefully it returns to KZYX whatever the name is.

Dear friends of KZYX, 

I am writing a quick note to the kzyxtalk listerv and to the newspapers letting the public know that the interview process for KZYX's new GM -- who will also be Mendocino County Public Broadcasting's (MCPB) new Executive Director -- was conducted on Monday, 14 December 2015. The final hiring process was handled fairly and professionally, and with integrity. 

MCPB's Board of Directors was honorable in every regard at that time. I felt included and heard, as I'm sure each Board Director did. 

In the words of one of our applicants, I felt that the Board was guided by the Buddhist principles of "truthfulness, justice, and seeking the virtuous path." 

We met from 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. We interviewed five finalists, broke for a pizza and salad dinner, then deliberated until mid-evening. It was a long day. 

MCPB Board Chair, Meg Courtney, chaired Monday's meeting at her home in Fort Bragg. 

Board Director, Benj Thomas, facilitated. He was excellent. At times, our deliberations reminded me what Quakers call a "meeting for clearness" -- trying to find the way forward during a time of change or difficulty.. 

All Board Directors were present for Monday's meeting with the exception of Jenness Hartley, who had to work, but she was consulted by telephone for the final vote. 

The Board reached a nearly unanimous vote, with only one Board Director dissenting. The Board's decision will be announced very soon in a press release. 

Please join us at the Board's regularly scheduled meeting on January 4 in Ukiah with time and location to be announced. C ome to personally congratulate and support our new GM and Executive Director. 

Finally, please let us all work together to heal our divisions in the coming year. Let us be empathetic with one another. Patient with one another. And kind. Public radio is not only an alternative to mainstream corporate media, it is a community of local folks. In that regard, public radio is equal parts "global" and "local". At its best, public radio is also "family". 

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, 

John Sakowicz 
MCPB Board of Directors (2013-2016), Board Chair (2014); Host of "All About Monday" (on leave)
