Accomplishments and Achievements
After completing her academic studies at an early age, Lucia began her lengthy tenure on the Johnny Carson show as the first female executive as his Talent Coordinator/Publicist. She was also President of the first all-women advertising agency in New York City (entitled Venus Advertising Agency). She also became President of Studio Film Exchange, an organization that purchases and markets award-winning documentary films. Lucia is the first and only woman to be President of martial arts legend Bruce Lee’s Hong Kong-based production company. She was also the first female General Manager at Hawaii’s KGU Radio.
During this momentous part of her life, Kaiser brought a remote Larry King Live broadcast for the first time ever. This successful show broadcast throughout the U.S. and Canada, and had the Governor of Hawaii, Mayor of Honolulu, and Don Ho appear on the show. It was a turning point for KGU Radio, raising the station from #14 to #4 in the market.
Lucia was also the only female, at the time, to be Chairperson of the Democratic Party for President Bill Clinton, and was personally invited by the Clintons to attend both Inaugurations in Washington, D.C. Her passion for giving a voice to philanthropic organizations has won her utter endearment in the entertainment community, and she maintains professional and personal relationships with the industry’s elite.
Alongside Richard Mondio, Lucia Kaiser cofounded the nonprofit organization and national radio program “You Can Make a Difference”, which linked individuals with a host of charities dealing with a wide variety of social concerns. The show was broadcast to over 200 independent radio stations across the United States, and listeners called-in to help, without having to donate money. People donated what they could, when they heard about what was needed, by listening to the live radio show, and all donations were to be given directly to help the poor, the needy, battered women, and many other individuals.
