Description:
As Community Media enters its 3rd decade, we are seeing long-time leaders retire and move on. This is happening in the context of a changing workplace. What are the practical and inspirational steps new leaders can take to retain and recruit staff & members and strengthen collaborations with funders and municipalities? We’ll cover reviewing and revising personnel policies for equity, managing hybrid work schedules, rebranding, membership expansion, board relations, and new revenue strategies.
