Background

About Jerold D.

Steering Access Tuolumne as Executive Director, my mission is to enrich the fabric of our community through dynamic media content. I produce engaging programs, from studio shows to documentaries, and cover hundreds of community and government meetings each year, ensuring that our local culture and governance are accessible to all. As Director of Content for the AFCI, I managed the professional development and certification program and produced educational events. The program helps municipalities build their own local film industry and promote their region to the world. With 300 members in over 40 countries, I've learned how to communicate effectively across cultures. As film commissioner for the County of Tuolumne, I marketed my community to the film industry and served as a liaison during production. As chair and founding board member of FLICS, I coordinated the effort to jointly market California, helped to create a standard of service for all film commissions to follow, and lobbied to keep the film industry in the State. In my previous career in television, my credits include local, business, and technology news in nearly every editorial capacity. I was part of an award-winning TV news team, a national television production network about technology, and the first live newscast on the Internet.
