Arik Korman

Arik Korman serves as CEO of League of Education Voters Foundation, a statewide education advocacy social justice nonprofit that works to create learning environments from early learning to K-12 to postsecondary where every Washington student feels safe, supported, and a positive sense of belonging.

Education is in his DNA, as his mother, sister, and several cousins are teachers, he has a son of the global majority in public high school who is accessing special education services, which makes this work intensely personal, and he views education as the single greatest catalyst for change in society. Arik has worked in Seattle media for over 20 years with KING, KIRO, KZOK, and KJR. He currently hosts his own interview program on iHeartRadio. Arik earned a Puget Sound Radio Broadcasters Association Soundie award for his partnership with World Vision, which has resulted in support for over 150,000 children and family members in developing countries around the world with annual donations of more than $2M for projects such as schools, clean water, food security, medical care, and microloans.

Arik recharges by running, playing disc golf, tennis, and ultimate frisbee, hiking, board gaming, traveling, and enjoying Washington wine.
