What does the Media Factory board do?

The board oversees the operations of the Media Factory, our cable access channels, community radio station, and a growing list of media-related services. They develop policies for the organization, ensure responsible use of cable access funds, strategize about outreach and development efforts, and infuse community accountability and transparency into all that we do. The eleven-member board has 2 member-elected positions and 9 appointed positions.

Meetings are generally held once a month with some additional committee work included between meetings.
