Comcast Newsmakers, a local public service program that runs short five-minute clips on shows such as CNN Headline News, has always been a friend to PCPA. For the past few years, they have helped PCPA report the great work done by members and the challenges faced by community providers. George Kimes has recorded two Newsmakers, and as magnetic and inspiring as the man who signs my paychecks is, this time around a new face was needed.
So with Children’s Mental Health Day on May 3, we felt that the camera could just as easily fall in love with Connell O’Brien, PCPA Children’s Policy Specialist. Connell recorded his Newsmakers in April, and it will be airing at random times this May (since it will be airing all month, the interview did not specifically mention Children’s Mental Health Day).
Anyone interested in viewing Connell’s Newsmakers clip can do so from PCPA’s Vimeo site. Congratulations to Connell for a comfortable performance and for representing PCPA’s children’s providers well.
