Bryan Harley

Bryan Harley serves as executive director of Community Media Access Collaborative in Fresno, California, and as Western States Regional Representative on the ACM national board, combining station leadership with field representation at a moment when community media in the Central Valley faces the same funding pressures affecting PEG access centers across the country. His role as secretary of the ACM Western Region connects that local work to the regional network of practitioners sharing strategies for sustaining access in markets where commercial media has largely retreated from local coverage.

CMAC serves Fresno and the surrounding region as a public access and civic media resource, providing training, channel time, and production support to a community with significant cultural diversity and limited mainstream media coverage of local life.

Bryan's position at the intersection of station leadership and regional board service reflects the dual accountability that community media directors carry: to the community their station serves and to the field that makes that station's work possible.
