The Library of American Broadcasting Foundation (LABF) has announced that former WSTB-TV General Manager Sally Brown was elected to the LABF Board of Directors during a recent board meeting. The announcement came from Co-chairs Heidi Raphael, Beasley Media Group Chief Communications Officer and Jack Goodman, former NAB general counsel and longtime DC-based Communications attorney.

Many of those years were spent with South Bend based Schurz Communications, Inc., for whom she also served as general manager of WSBT-TV in South Bend.

In addition, Brown, who currently serves as Vice President of the Schurz Communications Foundation, has served on the board of the National Association of Broadcasters, the Arbitron/Nielsen Advisory Committee and is a past president of the Indiana Broadcasters Association.

The LABF also announced the following board members were elected to serve new three-year terms: April Carty-Sipp, John Dille, Jack Goodman (Co-chair), Jim Morley, Patricia Smullin and Jeff Smulyan.

Executive Committee members elected to additional two-year terms include Gary Chapman, David Kennedy, and Jack Goodman (Co-chair).
