[Kzyxtalk] KZYX GM Bio

[Scott Peterson]

KZYX's new General Manager might need a little extra management attention.
I found their online resume here:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorraine-dechter-341806b
Claiming to have been a 'Grantwriter' at KIXE-TV PBS in Redding from 1982 to 2013. So I looked that nonprofit up:

Between 2003 and 2014, grant revenue there dropped by almost half. Same for net assets.
Then I found a news article about a position at the Shasta County Arts Council. Something that didn't appear in the online resume:
http://www.redding.com/news/new-arts-council-director-resigns-second-to-leave-in-less-than-a-year-ep-375869857-354919621.html
Looks like some rather large employee problems there.
So I looked that nonprofit up too:

Whoa!!!  
In 2004, KZYX's shiny new GM joined the board there. Then grant revenue dropped to less than 10% of what it'd been the previous year. So they left. Returning to the board there in 2009. Where grant revenue dropped from $61,686 in 2009 to $1,803 in 2012. So they left again. And came to work at KZYX!
This isn't about the new GM at KZYX. It's about something that's been missing from the board of directors at KZYX for a long, long time. 
Management!!!
