WBA NCSA/PEP Coordinator, friend to broadcasters, and dear friend, Liz Boyd, died on May 7. She was 71.
Her obituary is available here.
Liz was with the WBA for 20 years and before that worked for WKOW-TV in Madison. As NCSA/PEP Coordinator, Liz had relationships with traffic personnel all across Wisconsin. In her many other roles with the WBA, she was known and loved by the general membership. She greeted thousands of attendees at WBA events and contributed significantly to the WBA’s inspection program, the WBA Hall of Fame, Local Broadcast Legends, and the awards program.
“Liz was one of us. She was a broadcaster, and a dear friend,” said WBA President and CEO Michelle Vetterkind. “Liz had a deep connection with our membership, always able to recall names, relationships, and stories from WBA lore. The WBA won’t be the same without her.”
“In the WBA we always say that once you’re one of us, you’re always one of us. Liz will always be one of us,” Vetterkind said.
A celebration of life will be held May 28 from 4-7 p.m. at East Side Club in Madison.
