    SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 SUMMARY OF FISCAL YEARS 2009–2012 EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP Jim McCluney Chairman Jim McCluney has served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Emulex Corporation and Vixel Corporation, and has held senior executive positions with worldwide responsibilities at both Apple Corporation and Digital Equipment Corporation. Most recently, Mr. McCluney was instrumental in developing Emulex’s strategy for growth and executing four strategic acquisitions: Endace, ServerEngines, Aarohi Communications and Sierra Logic, positioning Emulex for entry into new high-growth market segments. His visionary growth strategies and global market knowledge have cemented him as an asset to the PBS SoCaL Board of Trustees, holding the position of Board Chair. “PBS SoCaL is California’s largest classroom, the 2nd largest broadcast market in the US, the largest stage for the arts and our most trusted source of information. These are just a few examples of why I chose to serve on the Board of PBS SoCaL. I see an expansive and developing future for PBS SoCaL.” Mel Rogers President & CEO As a former radio and television reporter and program host, Mr. Rogers is passionate about TV and radio aimed at creating an informed citizenry. He became the president of KOCE-TV in 1997, at which point he aggressively expanded efforts to make the station an indispensable part of the Orange County fabric. After 17 years under Rogers’ leadership, PBS SoCaL is now one of the top 3 most watched PBS stations among the nation’s 350 PBS stations. His public television influence extends beyond Southern California—he completed six years as a member of the national PBS Board of Directors and three years as Chair of the California Public Television Association and is former Chair of the Utah Broadcasters Association.
