Coachella Valley Chronicles is a highlight of the individuals and visionaries who started the growth of this Valley and have turned it into oneof America's most desired geographies. Whether it's discussing the history of construction and new development in the region or the growth of it as a center for Arts and Entertainment, Randy wil talk to the people who were there and who built this oasis! The program will be one hour weekly and also be available as a podcast. Host Randy Florence, whose 35 years in the financial industry brought him to the Coachella Valley nearly ten years ago, joins the iHub Radio line-up in January with an all-new show that will focus on the movers and shakers who have shaped the region over the past several decades. The program is called Coachella Valley Chronicles and will turn a spotlight on the communities that stretch from the San Gorgonio Pass to the Salton Sea and the many people who have been instrumental in creating the oasis that is home to nearly a half-million people and the travel destination of several millions of visitors each year. In addition to his work in financial services, Randy has immersed himself in the community as a member of Leadership-Coachella Valley, inspiring his interest in the region's history. He has also been a Board Member with the Boys & Girls Club of the Coachella Valley, is a member of the National Board of Directors for HomeAid, and he is presently the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP). Randy Florence was also a 2018 Storyteller as part of the USA Today/Desert Sun Storyteller program. And, he sang with the band Heatwave for the Boys and Girls Club of the Coachella Valley.
