Committee Members Not Present: Al Crownover and Elaine Marricle
KXNM Board Member Present: Ladd Hagmaier
Introductions: Everyone present introduced themselves and provided a brief experience background. A wide background of complementary skills and experiences among the committee members was apparent and will be of high value to KXNM as the committee moves forward at future meetings.
Call to Order: Ladd Hagmaier called the meeting to order at 10 AM, welcomed all to the initial organizational meeting of KXNM's Advisory Committee and expressed appreciation on behalf of the KXNM Board of Directors for their support of KXNM and their willingness to serve on the Advisory Committee. Ladd distributed copies of the KXNM Staff Directory List and the Advisory Committee Directives and summarized the committee's mission, structure and responsibilities, as outlined within the distributed document. Emphasis was on the independence of the committee relative to the Board of Directors and the need for feedback and recommended actions to the board regarding how to improve the needs and interests of the communities served by KXNM.
Committee Chairman and Secretary: Peggy Schwebach was appointed committee chairman by the members present and Michelle Wells was appointed to record the minutes of future committee meetings. Mary Bragg recommended a functional guideline for conducting and reporting the results for future meetings and agreed to bring each member a notebook to the next meeting, which outlines the guidelines. The Committee chair will be responsible for scheduling meetings and establishing an agenda.
Discussion of Future Agenda Topics: General open discussions among the members resulted in numerous topics for future consideration by the committee. These ranged from posting program schedules to notifications of emergency situations at local public institutions, to new programs that focus on community awareness. The intermixing of skills, ideas and enthusiasm among the committee members bodes well for future improvements in KXNM's community outreach and overall success as a community focused radio station.
Meeting was Adjourned at 11:45 AM
Next Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 29 at 10 AM at the KXNM Building.
Respectively Submitted, Ladd Hagmaier, KXNM Director.
