Ginny Z. Berson, NFBC Vice President and Director of Federation Services announced her retirement from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters on May 30th, 2013 at the NFCB conference in San Francisco.

"I started working at NFCB after sixteen years at Pacifica Radio, most of them at KPFA. And when I left KPFA I was exhausted and burned out, and when I started looking for another job, I was attracted to NFCB because I was so completely not interested in NFCB. I wanted a job that would be a job, not a commitment, not a relationship. Not anything I would want or need to think about outside of nine-to-five."

Berson, a founder of the Furies Collective and Olivia Records quickly admitted. "I wanted something to do that I would not care about, and I failed miserably."

Ginny, Thank you for your passion for Community Radio. Your leadership will guide broadcasters for years to come.
