KEKAHU FOUNDATION/KKCR COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD
GOVERNANCE AND REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP


There shall be a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of seven (9) members on the Community Advisory Board (CAB).

A quorum shall consist of three (3) members. Meetings are run according to Roberts Rules of Order. Decision making is by group consensus.

All members must be Kaua`i residents before and during their terms, and must be cooperative, interested in and supportive of KKCR, Kaua`i Community Radio.

CAB members shall not be Kekahu Foundation Board members, paid KKCR staff, or regularly scheduled volunteer programmers. The CAB shall strive to be as independent and objective as possible.

The board shall strive for balanced representation of Island geography, ethnicity, gender, age…etc.

Every member must have the ability to attend two (2) regular meetings a year. Meetings are held at different Kaua`i locations around the Island. Attendance is mandatory, except in previously excused justifiable circumstances. Meetings are scheduled a year ahead at the Spring membership meeting, to be held in March.

Any member may be removed, by group consensus, if the member misses more than one meeting during the year, or the member doesn’t demonstrate a willingness to participate in, at least, some other radio station functions during the year, including infrequently held CAB special meetings, membership/pledge drives, fund raisers, 5th Monday CAB broadcasts.

Members will serve for one year terms, which can be renewed by consensus of the sitting Community Advisory board.

By group consensus of the sitting CAB, new members will be accepted in the spring of each year, or as necessary to fill vacancies. Potential new members will be recruited from the existing CAB members, volunteers and members of KKCR, and the public listenership via person to person contacts, announcements on KKCR, in the Garden Island newspaper, the KKCR/CAB website, and any other public media.

Applicants will be required to fill out a brief form asking their employment experiences, other boards that they have served on, and reason(s) for wanting to become a CAB member. In addition, the application form will include a brief job description for the position.

Any member will be required to dismiss him/herelf from discussion or voting on any issue, should it be considered a conflict of interest.



Note: Consensus decision-making is a group decision making process that not only seeks the agreement of most participants, but also the resolution or mitigation of minority objections.
