--
Public media organization PRX is pleased to announce Byron Green, EdD joined the staff beginning April 19, where he will serve as Senior Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
At PRX, Green will develop and lead the execution of a comprehensive DEI strategy while enacting focused programs, resource groups, and initiatives to support a diverse and inclusive culture in consultation and collaboration with senior leadership, human resources, and staff. Green will also collaborate across departments at PRX to redesign organizational tools and processes with an equity lens.
Green joins PRX from the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, where he has served as Associate Director of Housing and Residence Education for a number of years. There, he led a multi-level team and guided staff training and talent management, conceptualized and implemented inclusive initiatives, and co-chaired the Committee to Serve Underrepresented Students. With more than a decade of person-centered experience building spaces of belonging, instruction and training, development, and as a Doctor of Education, Green has also led community operations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Georgia Southern University, and North Carolina State University.
“I’m thrilled to join PRX and their efforts to continue to work towards DEI at such a pivotal moment,” said Green. “The last year has been incredibly tough for many, even more so in the DEI field. Even this month, as we continue to face more violence towards AAPI and Black communities, we must reaffirm our commitment to supporting those affected and continue the fight towards equity. PRX’s mission and stance inspire me and open the door to ensure not only are we moving towards our goals, but doing so transparently. Bringing my experience to this team, which is already leading the effort to tell stories and elevate voices authentically, is a dream. I can’t wait to get to work.”
“Byron’s extensive experience forging DEI initiatives with and within teams is inspiring,” said Kerri Hoffman, CEO of PRX. “We’re thrilled that Byron has joined us — we look forward to collaborating on our work of continuing to build a public media company that is strengthened by our extraordinary staff.”
