William Quarton

Department: Laureate

At the age of 97, William Quarton can look back and reflect on being in the forefront of most forms of modern communications from commercial to FM radio, commercial and educational television, and cable TV franchises.

In a career currently spanning seven decades, Mr. Quarton has assumed numerous leadership positions including Chairman of the National Association of Broadcasters joint board and most recently, spear-heading the revitalization of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. Due in part to Mr. Quarton's leadership and direction, the foundation is now well poised to give back to the community for generations to come.
