TORONTO – Watchdog group Friends of Canadian Broadcasting (FCB) has named Daniel Bernhard as executive director and spokesperson, replacing Ian Morrison.

During a period of transition, Bernhard will work with Friends’ current spokesperson and founder Ian Morrison, who will remain on Friends’ board.

Bernhard (pictured) has spent his career working to advance the public interest, reads the announcement.  He comes to Friends from Mushroom Cloud consulting, a Toronto-based firm he built to meet the strategy, operational and software needs of charities, government and social purpose business clients working in the public benefit sector. 

“We have the best of both worlds with this appointment”, said Friends board chair Noreen Golfman, in the announcement.  “Friends will retain the wisdom and knowledge of Ian while adding the smarts, energy and ideas of Daniel.  Our team has never been stronger.”
