Beasley Media Group’s chief PR person Heidi Raphael has been chosen to lead the New York State Broadcasters Association.
She’ll be replacing President and CEO David Donovan, who has led the organization for 15 years, later this year. Raphael will be leaving Beasley.
Beasley Media Group Chief Executive Officer Caroline Beasley said, “I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Heidi for nearly a decade… While we will miss her tremendously, I couldn’t be happier for her as she begins this exciting new chapter, and I know she will lead the New York State Broadcasters Association with the same passion, integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment that have made her such a treasured member of the Beasley family.”
Donovan said, “Our industry continues to evolve, and I believe Heidi is uniquely qualified to lead NYSBA forward. Her experience, energy, and deep commitment to local broadcasting make her an outstanding choice. I look forward to working closely with her to ensure a smooth transition and to continuing our advocacy efforts on behalf of broadcasters across New York State.”
Raphael said, “David’s leadership and tireless advocacy on behalf of New York broadcasters have left a lasting impact on our industry, and I am grateful for the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation he has created. As someone who was born, raised, and began my broadcasting career in Western New York, the opportunity to return home, serve New York’s broadcasters, and be closer to my family is truly special.”
