The WBAI Committee of Inclusion (COI) is seeking additional members. This committee is established by
Pacifica By-laws to “monitor the under-representation of communities” in our radio station area. The COI
will work with the LSB, its committees, and the General Manager to impact on and improve diversity in all
aspects of WBAI’s functioning, including programming, staffing, board candidacy, and other areas.
The first 4 members have been chosen by the Local Station Board (LSB) and they will elect additional COI
members by majority vote. (See Pacifica By-Laws Article 8, Section 4 below. The Pacifica mission
statement can be found at
https://pacifica.org/about_mission.php).
The board members on the committee have decided to add 7 members.
We are seeking great diversity—both demographic and geographic—in the composition of the COI. This
application is designed to help us reach that goal. Any current* WBAI listener member or staff member
(paid or unpaid) may apply. Meetings will be public, but only committee members can vote. There are two
choices: a term running until December 2026 or a term that ends in December 2027.
To be considered, a listener must have, since July 2024, donated at least $25 to WBAI, worked on an LSB
committee, or volunteered at least 3 hours under management supervision.
