GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — The Pioneer PBS board of directors has initiated a national search for a new president and general manager to replace Les Heen. Heen resigned from the position in January 2020 to take a new position as a government affairs specialist at the Libby Law Firm in St. Paul. After assessing the desired qualities in a new executive director, consulting with staff and opening the position to existing Pioneer PBS employees, the Pioneer PBS board is now contracting with Livingston Associates -- the leading executive search firm for public television and radio. Chief engineer Jon Panzer will continue to serve in the capacity of interim general manager until the position is filled.
