KWMR History- The Early Years 1995-1999
Administration
KWMR is owned and operated by KWMR, a non-profit, charitable corporation organized pursuant to Section 501(c)3 of the IRS code.
As with any corporation, KWMR has a board of directors. It is the board that sets the direction and tone of the station, forms committees to address things like general policy and emergency preparedness and fundraising. The board is made up of people from the local community, usually folks of long residency with strong ties to the area. They often serve or have served on other boards of directors as well.
Below is our present Board of Directors Updated December 2008.
Steve Henrikson – President, Stinson Beach
Russ Faure-Brac – Vice-President , Dogtown
Bill Braasch - Treasurer, Bolinas
Helen Chapman - Secretary, Inverness
Sheri Clyde , Marshall
Carhy Cook, Bolinas
Laurie Monserrat, Point Reyes Station
Steve Pring, Inverness
Gene Ptak, Inverness
Susan Robinson, Bolinas
Lisa Sebastian, Lagunitas
Sue Stewart, Nicasio
Len Weiss, Stinson Beach
While the board is busy setting long term goals the challenge of keeping the station going on a day-to-day basis is met by our paid staff of four:
Kay Clements, Station Manager
Lyons Filmer, Program Director
Adrienne Pfeiffer, Development Director
Eric Brenner, News Producer
Susan Santiago,Administrative Asst.
Richard Dillman - Transmitter Engineer
We are also fortunate to have working with us:
Ian McMurray - Internet Technology
Wendy McLaughlin - Underwriting Representative
They're supported by a staff of over 100 volunteers but the buck stops with them when it comes to station operations. They labor mightily and like the rest of us, they are true believers in the magic of community radio.
KWMR complies with the requirements of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that its meetings of the membership, the Board of Directors and the Advisory Committee are open to the public. certain portions of the meetings may be closed to consider confidential business, legal and personnel matters and otherwise as permitted by law.
