Steering Committee
In addition to the board, we also have a steering committee. The steering committee will be made up of the people who, will get involved in working on the station and is very committed to it. Our steering committee will be made up of about twelve people, including the three board members. This will be people who understand the station mission, who can talk about it well, who represent the idea well to the community and who want to work on it. Because of the diversity of our community, it is important for us that our steering committee be diverse, also.
Advisory Committee
Having an advisory committee is a nice way to involve people whose support you want, but who do not necessarily have the time to work with you on a regular basis. Our advisory committee will includes a lawyer, a radio engineers, a local Spanish speaking person, a programmer on the a local full-power community radio station, a minister, a labor organizer, teacher, doctor and the head of a local youth group. These people literally act as advisors, on technical, legal and programmatic issues. Again, people who represent your community, and who you trust, and who are psyched about this project, are the people we want.
