political observer, working across the fi eld from public and
private radio and television stations to international nongovernmental
organizations. Max’s journalism profession began
in 1979 with ELBC/TV, Liberia’s public broadcast system. He
started as a reporter and rose through the ranks to become the
System’s Deputy Broadcast Director-General. He accomplished
professional education from VOA (Voice of America) in Washington, DC.
Max worked as Communication/Media Specialist for a strategic U.S. project, LCIP
(Liberia Community Infrastructure Program), a USAID-run 48 million-dollar
gift from the U.S. government to Liberia’s graduation from war. During and after
the country’s great civil war, Max co-managed Charles Taylor’s communication
network. As the war was intensifying, he slipped into other functions by moral
conviction outside the boundary of his professional journalistic duties to offer
service against the human catastrophe of such grave consequence the war was
imposing. He proffered time and energy to help the needy and vulnerable; a service
he counts as a score of lifetime. Max Willie resides in the United States currently
where he’s prospecting for research and higher education. Max holds the Bachelor’s
degree in Political Science from University of Liberia.
