HPPR Governance, Board of Directors & Management
Background
High Plains Public Radio is governed by the Board of Directors of the Kanza Society, Inc., the nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation that operates HPPR and holds its FCC licenses. The board's responsibilities include planning, policy making, financial and administrative oversight and fundraising. Programming management and operations are the responsibility of the Executive Director and professional staff of HPPR.
The board consists of 11 to 18 members, including officer positions of President, Vice-president, Secretary and Treasurer. Board members must be current members (financial contributors) of HPPR and are not compensated for their services. Terms are for three years with service limited to two consecutive terms, though past members may return to the board. Approximately one-third of the board is elected each year.
