Dana Perino To Leave The Broadcasting Board Of Governors

Broadcasting Board of Governors member Dana Perino told her colleagues that she would be leaving the BBG at the end of the year.

“As you know, ever since I moved to New York, I have not been able to participate as much as I would have liked, nor could I fulfill the expectations I have for my own public service. I do not see that changing in the foreseeable future; therefore, I felt the best thing to do was clear the way for someone else,” Perino wrote in a note to her fellow Board members. “I am honored to have been chosen to serve, though I’m more overwhelmed by the friendships I’ve made. The city of Washington, DC could use many more of you working to steer structural and content improvements at the BBG to support its role in spreading freedom of expression and self-determination around the world.” Perino said she had informed the White House and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) that she will resign on December 31.

Perino is the former White House press secretary to President George W. Bush and the creator of Minute Mentoring, a program helping young women entering the workforce. She previously served in the U.S. Justice Department, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Congress.
