The annual membership meeting of public radio station KHNS will be held 5:30 p.m. Friday in the Haines ANB Hall.
Besides elections to the station’s board of directors, the meeting will include annual reports by staff and a look at the upcoming year’s programming and projects, said station manager Kay Clements.
“We will be looking at ongoing funding challenges and some possible solutions. A small survey will be handed out to help us gauge listeners’ response to KHNS,” Clements said this week.
There are five seats open on the station’s board of directors, which is expanding from seven to nine members with this year’s election.
Diane Sly of Haines, who replaced director Chuck Hoehn earlier in the year, is running for a seat. Deb Potter of Skagway is seeking re-election. Haines residents Gabe Long and Jeff Bochart also are seeking election.
The fifth seat can be filled at the election meeting through a write-in, Clements said. Candidates must be members for a full year and get at least five write-in votes in the election, otherwise the position will be filled by board appointment.
Seated members of the board include board president Mike Case, Eric Kocher, Judy Erekson and Skagway resident Tekla Helgason.
Ten percent of members or about 60 members attending the meeting in Haines and Skagway are required for a meeting quorum. The Skagway meeting will be held in the Bombay Room at the Red Onion.
