The National Association of Broadcasters Leadership Foundation has appointed Todd Hartman and Valari Dobson Staab to its board of directors.
NABLF President Michelle Duke said the two bring extensive leadership experience and industry knowledge that will support the foundation's efforts to expand programs and develop future broadcast and media leaders.
