CFCR's Board of Directors is a group of amazing volunteers who are committed to overseeing the "big picture" of The Community Radio Society of Saskatoon. The Board of Directors is not a "working board" - at CFCR, we are lucky enough to have the funding required to maintain a small staff who handle day-to-day operations. Rather, CFCR's board is responsible for providing important input and direction of a supervisory and governance nature.
Our 2023 Annual General Meeting took place at Amigo's Cantina on May 31st. We elected our 2023 Board of Directors, and wanted to give you a chance to acquaint yourself with them!
So without further ado...
