Meeting Speaker for September 16, 2013

David Hosley is a former member of our club, and known to most of us for his leadership of KVIE Public Television from 1998 to 2008.  That position capped four decades in broadcasting at KCBS, KPIX, KGO and KQED in San Francisco, WCBS in New York and WINZ in Miami where his jobs included being an editor, reporter, anchor and news director.

For the past five years, Dr. Hosley has worked for UC Merced, first as president of the Great Valley Center in Modesto, then interim Vice Chancellor for University Relations, and most recently as executive director of the Sierra Nevada Research Institute.  He retired in June from the UC system, and he and his wife Gayle are returning to Davis, where they are partners in a senior community that is the first LEED platinum building in that city.

David has been involved with growth issues in the Central Valley in a number of ways, including board service on: Valley Vision, UC Davis Foundation, Metro Chamber, California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley, California Asian Pacific Chamber and the American Leadership Forum Great Valley chapter board.

Next Monday, he's going to share with us some good news about the Valley.
