CCX Create Board of Directors Candidate – Maxwell Gable

I am so proud to be part of the CCX family and am ecstatic to witness, firsthand, our little neighborhood TV station continuing to thrive. 

CCX welcomed my spazzy friends and me at the ripe age of 13 and gave us a chance to get creative and showcase our comedic talents (we thought we were pretty funny, but that’s debatable).

How cool was that?!  It may not have been as important as other shows on the network. We probably weren’t inspiring or informing anyone, but this little TV station empowered us. It acted as an incubator to prepare me for decades of work and passion projects in the world of video.

After moving back to my old neighborhood recently, I was welcomed with open arms, once again. These were new faces, but just as warm as the people before.

I have seen Javie and Trudy go full steam to get podcasts going, an amazing way to adapt to the times and keep this place relevant. I have also had the privilege of being part of a recent wave of award winners that the CCX Create team have really rallied for.

Although these amazing milestones have been placed in the recent history of CCX, I feel very strongly it is essential for us to keep this steam going.

I believe one of our first priorities should be getting young people in these doors. Connect with schools that could take field trips here and find ways to feature our facilities for the youth as a creative outlet. They might not even know what Community Access is but it could just be a matter of them seeing the green screen studio, the lights, cameras, and control room, for that light bulb of creative empowerment to light up for them.
