Hi everyone, With all of the critical Compact business going on with NPR, the candidates forum is an important and timely opportunity for NPR authorized reps to engage with future Board members, and learn about their positions on the key issues they’ll be deciding in the not too distant future, and on our behalf… We invite you to learn more about the four Member Director candidates on the ballot in a 90-minute forum webinar on *Friday, July 20, from Noon to 1.30pm Pacific Time.* The forum is presented by ERPM (Eastern Region Public Media) on behalf of the Public Radio Regional Organizations (PRRO) group. During the discussion, Member Director candidates will offer their views on a range of topics, and answer your questions. ERPM Executive Committee Member Scott Finn (President and CEO of Vermont Public Radio) will moderate the discussion. You can find the candidates’ bios and candidacy statements here <https://www.nprstations.org/handbook/boardcandidates.cfm>. If you have specific questions for the candidates, please email them in advance to the Member Partnership team at [email protected] or Scott Finn at [email protected] and/or submit them live during the webinar. An archived recording of the forum will be made available on nprstations.org shortly after it concludes.
