This Artist Page is dedicated to all events concerning KPFA's Local Station Board Elections. Why does KPFA have Local Station Board Elections? KPFA 94.1 FM, is part of the Pacifica Foundation, the oldest network of non-commercial, community-based radio stations in the United States with 5 sister stations nationwide (KPFA, KPFK, KPFT, WBAI and WPFW) which each have separate governing boards called the local station boards (aka LSB) elected by its members (staff and listener). The Pacifica Foundation is the only listener-supported independent media network for which both listener-members and staff-members (paid and unpaid) have the opportunity to be involved in the decision-making process with respect to the station’s budget, programming and policies via the local station board. Please Vote! If you are a member your ballot will arrive before September 1st, 2010 and must be returned via post by September 30th, 2010.

Staff Administration Unpaid Staff Organization (UPSO) The KPFA Community Advisory Board: The law provides that '[t]he role of the board shall be solely advisory in nature'.' It also stipulates that the board shall advise the governing body of the station and therefore must be distinct from and independent of the governing body. The purpose of the advisory board is to provide a vehicle for effective community input to the station's governing body about station programming, community service and impact on the community from the station's major policy decisions. Congress believed that the establishment of community advisory boards would assist the stations to develop programs and policies that address the specific needs of the communities that they endeavor to serve. The advisory board is intended to provide the public the opportunity to be heard on station programming, community service and impact on the community of major policy decisions. If you would like to play a role on the KPFA Community Advisory Board, please contact the CAB Chair at: kpfacab09@gmail.com |
