KWIS’s Community Advisory Committee (CAC), the local group mandated by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is charged with assessing and reporting the needs of the community served by KWIS to the governing board and management of KWIS.
Members are appointed by the Local Station Board and meetings are held once per quarter, usually on the 2nd Thursday of every 3 months from 1:00 p.m to 2:00 p.m.
Meetings are open to the public.
The KWIS Community Advisory Board provides a vehicle for community input to the KWIS Local Station Board and Station Manager about station programming, community service and impact on the community from the station’s major policy decisions.
The primary function of the KWIS Community Advisory Committee is to provide community input on KWIS programming.
The Community Advisory Committee provides a stabilizing influence so organizational concepts and directions are established and maintained with a visionary view. The Community Advisory Committee provides insight for KWIS Program Proposals in support of KWIS’ Mission.
