Community Advisory Council

A Letter from Lee Irving, WKSU Community Advisory Council member and Chair of the Council's Executive Committee

Welcome to the WKSU Community Advisory Council (CAC) web page. As a group, the CAC strongly believes that WKSU is an important positive factor in the quality of life in Northeast Ohio and a great ambassador for Kent State University. We also believe it is one of the best public radio stations in the country. The CAC is committed to keeping it that way.

To that end:

  • We offer guidance and support to station management in its efforts to continually improve the quality of WKSU's programming.
     
  • We work with station management to ensure that disciplines are in place so that station members' pledges and gifts are subjected to proper financial controls.
     
  • We are an active group and have standards for each CAC member to meet in regard to commitment of time, talent and financial support to the station.

The listings that follow show who we are, our "day jobs" and our tenures as WKSU CAC members. We are proud to serve as liaisons from our home and work communities to the station, and to advocate for WKSU in those communities. If you would like to contact any or all of us about WKSU, feel free to do so and please direct your communication to us in care of the station. We would like to hear from you!
