National Election Supervisor Terry Bouricius has appointed Soul Watson as the 2012 KPFK Local Election Supervisor.
Soul Watson has over 17 years of experience in broadcasting on two different continents. Having worked in Africa for ten years with the African Union, CNN and TCN as well as owning and operating his own multi-media company (Soul Media Ltd.). Upon returning to USA in 2010, Soul has worked for some of the most notable independent broadcast companies including KUVO, as a morning show producer and host with 'The Takeaway' (A PRI morning show production), KGNU (Colorado's first and most popular independent progressive radio station) and most recently with Free Speech TV as a producer, host and community engagement director. Soul Watson brings a wealth of experience to every aspect of independent progressive institutions and community engagement initiatives and he's thrilled to be working KPFK to insure a transparent, fair and balance elections for one of the nations most historically progressive independent station.

Terry Bouricius has been appointed National Election Supervisor for the 2012 Pacifica election.

Terry Bouricius served as the first National Election Supervisor for Pacifica's initial round of elections in 2003-4. Mr. Bouricius earned a degree in political science from Middlebury College. He was the first person in the nation elected to office as a Citizens Party candidate in 1981, when he was elected to the Burlington, Vermont City Council. He served ten years on the City Council, including a term as Council President. He was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives in 1990.. He stepped down after serving five terms in the state legislature, and went to work with FairVote: The Center for Voting and Democracy as an election reform policy analyst. He has served several terms on the board of directors of the Vermont League of Women Voters. In addition to running the first Pacifica elections, he has administered elections for several nonprofits, including co-ops, and the Dartmouth Alumni Association.

I welcome Terry back to Pacifica!
Arlene Engelhardt, Executive Director
