Ken Ikeda, executive director of the Bay Area Video Coalition, is departing after four years. “I was presented with an opportunity to help build a new organization and considering its objectives, it was something I couldn’t walk away from,” he said in an online exit interview. “I wish I could share more but I can’t right now. It’ll be public shortly, and in the end what I’ll be doing is not far from the work we do at BAVC.” The coalition is a pubmedia pioneer; it’s going strong after 35 years.
