Community Advisory Board
WUNC Community Advisory Board
In 2002, North Carolina Public Radio - WUNC created a Community Advisory Board to assist the station with advancing our mission and goals. While some public radio stations are mandated to have an advisory board (WUNC, because it is licensed to a state university, is not), WUNC chose to establish the board to help increase WUNC's significance to the community we serve.
Since its inception, the Community Advisory Board has provided valuable insight and counsel to WUNC's general manager and senior management team on community outreach and fundraising and feedback on formulating policy and meeting strategic goals. Approximately 13 to 17 board members meet three times a year. Members are also updated regularly by the general manager, and volunteer time between meetings to help the station expand and enhance its current role as a valuable community resource.
WUNC Community Advisory Board members generously volunteer their time and effort to help the station. Members come from all walks of life, but share a strong interest in, and affection for, public radio and WUNC in particular and an open mind about the role of public broadcasting in today's media landscape. Candidates for board positions are WUNC listeners and donors who are willing and able to share their unique talents to further the station's objectives. Each member commits to a minimum two-year term, and agrees to serve as an ambassador for the station in the community and to make an annual financial commitment to WUNC. New board members are chosen by the general manager each year. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Community Advisory Board, please contact jsrose@wunc.org.
The role of the WUNC Community Advisory Board is purely advisory; fiduciary governance of WUNC rests ultimately with the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
