KAFM holds at least two but optimally six Community Advisory Board meetings each year. Community Advisory Board membership and minutes of the meeting will be kept in the CPB folder in the public file and on KAFM’s website.

The Community Advisory Board has a distinct membership from the organization’s governing Board of Directors.

KAFM strives to ensure that Members of the CAB represent a diverse cross-section of the community.

3. review the community service provided by the stations;
4. review the impact on the community of the significant policy decisions rendered by the station; and

The advisory board may make recommendations to the governing board to meet those specialized needs.
