WXPR board announces promotion of new station manager
Dick began work at the radio station in 2003 and most recently has been marketing director and volunteer coordinator.
"We feel that Jessie's 14 years of experience and dedication to WXPR make her the ideal candidate for the role of station manager," board chairman Jeff Burke said in a press release. "She has accepted this promotion with the full support of the board and staff," he continued.
Dick's experience at the station gives her strong insights and ideas about what will work to keep the station growing stronger, the release states.
"This isn't a responsibility I'm taking lightly," she said. "WXPR is celebrating our 35th year later this month and I've never been more aware of how important keeping WXPR strong is for our community. With the support of staff, volunteers and listeners I'm looking forward to building on our current successes, while keeping WXPR relevant, informative and entertaining."
A resident of Tomahawk where she resides with her husband and two children, Dick has also been involved with local community organizations like Partners in Education (PIE), Rhinelander Woman's Club, and ArtStart Rhinelander.
WXPR is an independent, local public radio station founded in 1983. The studio is located at 28 N Stevens Street, Rhinelander and serves northern Wisconsin, portions of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the greater Wausau area.
