by Marlaina Lieberg, ACB Radio Affiliate Liaison
As the newly appointed outreach coordinator for ACB Radio, I invite all ACB state and special-interest affiliates to join our programming efforts on ACB Radio Mainstream.
We at ACB Radio know that each of you have great things going on in your affiliates, from interesting speakers at chapter or state meetings to blind artists or other interesting members you might like to showcase. Maybe you’d like to highlight successful strategies for advocacy in your state, successful membership-building tools, or just brag a bit about the good things your particular affiliate has done. As a special-interest affiliate member, you probably have news and information that is of great value to the general blindness community, and we want to help you get the word out by providing a forum for all the above and more! So, why not share all that energy and information with other ACB affiliates, other ACB members and our worldwide listening audience? The only equipment you need is a good cassette recorder or minidisk machine and a microphone. You record the content, and we at ACB Radio will help you with the rest.
On another note, if you as an individual would like to provide programming content either as a special feature now and again or on a regularly scheduled basis, we’d love to hear from you. ACB Radio staff are ready, willing and eager to help you understand the few steps necessary to be on the air via the Internet to the world.
I plan to be in contact via e-mail with all affiliate presidents, but you need not wait to hear from me. Feel free to contact me by e-mail, [email protected], or call me during the business day at (206) 433-6565.
ACB Radio is community radio at its finest! Why not add the good news of your community to our programming content? Participating as an ACB Radio staff volunteer is one of the most exciting things I’ve done in a while. Through these efforts, I’ve made many new friends and learned much. I invite you to join me and the rest of the fabulous ACB Radio team as we mold and develop the new face of ACB Radio Mainstream.
