Kirby Legally Attached To Broadcasters Foundation

• Kathleen A. Kirby has been voted Secretary & General Counsel to the Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) during Wednesday’s virtual meeting of the Board of Directors. Kirby, a former broadcaster who is currently a Partner with Wiley Rein LLP Washington, DC and Co-chair of the firm’s Telecom, Media & Technology group, takes over Secretary & General Counsel duties from Richard Bodorff, who will remain on the Board of Directors.

“It’s an honor to follow Dick in the roles of Secretary and General Counsel for the Broadcasters Foundation,” said Kirby, whose practice involves advising some of the country’s largest media groups on regulatory and policy matters, representing radio and television stations in connection with the full realm of FCC compliance, and counseling clients on the sale and acquisition of broadcast properties. She added, “I’ve been a supporter of the Broadcasters Foundation, and I look forward to giving back even more by donating my time and energy to continuing the crucial mission of providing aid to those in our industry who need it most.”

“Kathy’s advice will guide us on the many legal and regulatory issues of our 501(c)3 charity,” noted Scott Herman, Board Chairman of the BFOA. “We’re grateful she will join us in her new capacity as the Board continues to put our time and energy into raising money to help our colleagues in need. I also want to thank Dick for his many years of service as Secretary and General Counsel. We’re delighted that he will remain on the Board.”
