Under Heldman’s leadership, Aspen Public Radio was named one of the top-10 public radio stations in the country and its news team won six Colorado Broadcasters Association awards in 2017 as well as an Edward P. Murrow award this year. The station’s membership also rose 45 percent during Heldman’s tenure.

Heldman launched several new programs, including CrossCurrents, Curated, Non-Profit in the Spotlight, Audio Canvas and Spotlight Health. She also initiated Aspen Public Radio’s Town Hall Series.

“I am extremely proud to have been part of this wonderful community asset,” Heldman said in a statement. “APR’s growth and success is the result of the enormously talented staff and the commitment of dedicated leaders on the board.”

Bektesh, who started working under Heldman in June 2015, said she was drawn to Aspen Public Radio “because of (her) vision.”

“I feel so lucky to have worked with her,” Bektesh said, “and I think everyone in the building feels the same.”
