Dear Folks,
Who ever you are, it is great to be a part of this KBOO community with you!
KBOO is a living organism. KBOO has been evolving and changing in many ways over the years and the people who make KBOO are the ones to guide the change. That is you!
All of us have our own "vision" of what KBOO can be or should be, but if KBOO is still thriving after 50 years, it is because somehow we have found ways to make the compromises necessary to keep KBOO going despite our own individual aspirations for the station. In fact, community collaboration is designed in the way KBOO functions.
When you support KBOO, you become a member. As a member you can run for the board of directors, sit on committees, become a part of a our participatory democracy by electing others to become board members, give input on surveys and inform long term planning.
Listening and calling with feedback is helpful but not as much as the time, skills, services you could contribute towards bringing the change you feel is needed at KBOO.
All of us are invited to find a way to support our community, no matter how little the time or the resources we are able to invest. Here are some things you can do:
- Informing yourself about how KBOO's participatory democracy work by visiting https://kboo.fm/board-directors
- Run for the board. You can email boardapplication [at] kboo.org to inquiere about the process
- Join a committee. You can find out more about all the different committees and when they meet by visiting: https://kboo.fm/committees
- Ask someone else to run for the board of join a committee
- Share this post with your network and friends!
Thank you for reading and for all you do for KBOO!
