Community Service: Evolved in Form but Unchanged in Substance with Senator Connie Leyva Joe Speak! Podcast

Connie Leyva is probably best known for her years in the California State Senate. However, the bookends of her career show a consistent line of distinguished service that has included trailblazing union leadership, and which continues with her new post as Executive Director of KVCR, a public radio dual licensee that also operates First Nations Experience, a digital multicast channel for Native American and Indigenous programming. In this podcast, Connie will discuss her amazing journey, the highs and lows of being on the State Senate, and how her new job is a natural continuation of her service. She will give listeners a primer on KVCR including its current programming and talk about future plans her role is signed to support. She will add her observations on the Inland Empire as a region with still untapped potential, and how her new responsibilities will further the work of equity in our state and region which has always been a central goal in all of her endeavors.
