“Amanda Mountain is a dynamic, young, female who represents a new breed of broadcast executives. In only her fourth year as CEO of Rocky Mountain Public Media, she has made bold decisions and not shied away from taking risks that many executives avoid. She raised the funds to build the new $35 million Buell Public Media Center in Denver, purchased a new FM in the height of the pandemic to launch a new public radio format targeting young and diverse audiences, has modernized the culture and operations of a multi-decade old public media cluster, is a tremendously popular leader by her staff, and has quickly risen to become a recognized community leader in Denver and across Colorado. ”
