Greetings Sir/Madam,

 

WURK 's Board members play a vital role in the decision-making of the station, and the Nominating Committee is charged with recruiting potential Board candidates.  Your energy and commitment may help guide our community radio station into the future.

 

If you share WURK’s vision of diverse community radio, you may be just the person we are looking for.  We’re looking for good listeners who are respectful of others’ opinions, and endorse WURK Mission, Vision and Principles.  Board members influence the direction of specific projects that include long-range planning, fundraising, marketing, outreach, and technology implementation.  While we are interested in specific skills such as these, it is equally important that board members be enthusiastic, thoughtful, and be willing to volunteer their time.  Potential board candidates should demonstrate a history of volunteering.  We also seek to broaden the cultural and ethnic diversity of the governing body of WURK.

 

The WURK Auxiliary Board meets at least 6 times a year - WURK By-Law #1 spells out additional roles, duties and  terms 

 

In addition to regular Board meetings, WURK Board members are asked to serve on a committee or take part in fund-raising activities.  This would mean a commitment of about 4 hours a month. Like all radio stations, WURK is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which specifies that the Auxiliary Board of Directors will include balanced representation from the community body, station volunteers, Board of Directors and the community at large.  As a “Auxiliary Director” you would be applying to represent one of those four groups.  You can find the latest WURK Radio Policy here:

 

 

WURK will rely on  volunteers to run the station in cooperation with paid staff members.  There are many roles to play at WURK 96.3 FM and many rewards for being a part of one of the country's most strongly motivated and committed community radio stations.

 

If you are interested in being part of the WURK 96.3 FM Auxiliary Board, we invite you to apply.. 

 

You will need to complete the following:
