Would qualify for a Hometown Award in 2027....

Have you been thinking about leadership in the ACM? The ACM Leadership webinar is the best place to mingle with current and past leaders, and to learn about ACM leadership at all levels.

This webinar focuses on the ACM National Board, a policy and fund development board. Participants will learn about specific Board needs necessary for community media success. There will be plenty of time for questions and a conversation. We’ll finish with advice on how to apply and run for At Large seats. We’ll talk about how board service helps our movement and is personally rewarding and enjoyable for board members.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Alliance for Community Media in 1976 (when we were initially called the National Federation of Local Cable Programmers), many long-time and more recent ACM members are joining forces to create a special booklet, to be filled with photos, articles, fun facts, timelines, resources, congratulatory ads, and other items to illustrate and celebrate the history of the Alliance, its members, and community media.

There are many ways that YOU can participate in this effort. Learn more and submit by Friday, May 15th! https://buff.ly/vBkK8cr

The Inclusion, Equity and Engagement (IEE) Caucus believes in the importance of cultivating leaders in community media: to train them, nourish them, and to encourage their growth. In an effort to facilitate continued education for our future leaders, IEE will be offering Grassroots Scholarships for those interested in attending the Annual Conference. This year, the Grassroots Scholarships will support the education costs (conference registration) for community media producers and staff who can't typically afford professional development. IEE Caucus will be sponsoring these scholarships to ACM members.

Deadline to apply is Friday, May 1st. Learn more ---> https://buff.ly/wT17uav
