Volunteers Needed to Review Future Programs

VolunteerNeededIf this sounds exciting to you, come join the KSMQ RAC (Regional Advisory Council) and be a part of the team to assist with the reviewing and advising of programming decisions, outreach and policy for the station, to meet the specialized educational and cultural needs of our communities. We meet a few times a year and normally do Zoom meetings, therefore no travel is required. Meetings typically last an hour or less at 4pm on Wednesdays. This is open for adjustment if needed. We would love to have you!
