FLORENCE (FLO) HERNÁNDEZ-RAMOS |
Flo has been selected to lead the work of a newly-formed consortium that will advocate for the inclusion of Latinos and Latino programming throughout the nation's public radio system.
The selection of Hernández-Ramos, who was a founding member of the Latino Public Radio Consortium (LPRC), brings to
the helm of the nascent organization a veteran public broadcaster with broad management experience and a solid track
record in promoting programming diversity.
“Flo Hernández-Ramos has deep knowledge of our public broadcasting system, and shares our passion for seeing public
radio fulfill its original mission of serving communities often left out of the public discourse,” said Hugo Morales, also a
founding member of the LPRC and Executive Director of Radio Bilingue, the Latino public radio network.
In 1983, Hernández-Ramos helped found and for more than 23 years she was President and CEO of KUVO, nationally
recognized as the Major Market Jazz Station of 2005 and 2006. Last year, she left KUVO and founded Sol Project
Management whose primary work is to strengthen non-profit organizations.
In her capacity as Project Director, Hernández-Ramos will lead efforts to encourage National Public Radio organizations
and individual stations in large and small markets to acknowledge in their hiring, training, promotion and programming the
extraordinary growth of the nation's Latino population.
