SACRAMENTO – Gov. Gavin Newsom on Feb. 18 announced the appointment of Connie Nakano, 43, of Elk Grove as assistant director of communications at the Department of Aging.
Nakano has been assistant deputy of communications at the California Transportation Commission since 2020. She was a public information officer at the California Department of Rehabilitation from 2017 to 2020; and a senior marketing specialist at the California Earthquake Authority from 2009 to 2017.
She was a national interactive account manager at
The Sacramento Bee from 2008 to 2009, an advertising account manager at KMAX-TV from 2004 to 2007 and at Valley Yellow Pages from 2002 to 2004, a sales and marketing coordinator at KQCA 58 from 2000 to 2002, a graphic artist at UPN 31 from 1998 to 2000, and a promotion assistant at KSFM 102.5 from 1997 to 1999.
Teen Vogue s newly appointed editor in chief isn t slated to start until March 24, but she has already issued two apologies this week and has drawn the ire of her soon-to-be staff, advertisers and celebrities. Alexi McCammond, who was a political reporter at Axios before being appointed to lead the Condé Nast-owned progressive magazine last week, tweeted a lengthy apology on Wednesday addressing concerns over racist, anti-Asian tweets she sent in 2011 and 2012. The apology follows one that she issued Monday over the same controversy. McCammond s hiring came amid a rise of attacks against Asians and Asian Americans and sparked outrage internally and externally to Teen Vogue.
