Ted A. Garcia, general manager and chief executive officer of local PBS affiliate KNME-TV, Channel 5, has been elected to serve on two boards. Garcia was re-elected secretary of the executive council of the Pacific Mountain Network's board of directors. Formerly a regional program distributor, PMN now invests in public television programs and services.
Garcia was also elected to the nominations committee of the American Red Cross. He served as vice-chairman of the national meeting of the American Red Cross in 2001 and served on the resolutions committee of the organization's national 2003 and 2003 annual meetings.
Garcia serves on the board of the Mid Rio Grande chapter of the American Red Cross. Prior to taking his position at KNME, Garcia served as chair of the St. Louis chapter of the American Red Cross.
“I am honored to have been elected to serve on these two boards,” Garcia said. “The Pacific Mountain network continues to strive to provide PBS stations with top quality educational and entertaining programs with superior production values.
"I have been a long-time supporter and participant in the American Red Cross, and am committed to continuing their humanitarian and disaster relief efforts. I am honored to serve both organizations and the people that they reach."
Garcia also serves as vice chair/chair-elect on the National Educational Telecommunications Association executive committee and is one of only six business executives nationally named to a newly created team of 19 advisors, the “2020 Vision Committee” of Southern Illinois University.
