Ken Beno, who serves as the Chairman of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association’s Education Committee, announces his retirement. Beno has been in the role for two decades and with the WBA for 30 years. Before joining the WBA, he worked in commercial broadcasting, managed radio and TV stations, and taught at a university and community college.
“I have recently made the very difficult decision to step aside as Chair of the WBA Education Committee,” a statement from Beno read. “I have been part of the WBA for more than 30 years, and the Education Committee Chair for more than 20 years. I leave this committee and the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association with wonderful memories of working and planning student seminars, attending the summer and winter conferences, and developing friendships with many quality broadcast professionals. I also consider it a great honor to have been chosen for induction into the WBA Hall of Fame. To say that I am humbled to be a part of this distinguished group is an understatement.”
