Individual Memberships in WCM are Here!
Wisconsin Community Media has until now, only been open to community television stations. Our station memberships keep everyone involved in managing and overseeing a community television station, from staff to city council members, in the loop. But until now, we had no way for community producers, non-profit organizations, local businesses, and even former staff of community television stations to be a part of Wisconsin Community Media.
We do now!
We have two new levels of Membership.
FRIEND. Friend memberships are open to anyone who would like to keep abreast of what is happening in the area of community television and wants to support it. Friends receive regular e-newsletters, may serve on board committees as non-voting members, can attend conferences and workshops at the Member Rate, and receive other discounts offered to Members. Anyone who is eligible to be a Station Member is not eligible to be a Friend. Annual membership fee: $25.
EMERITUS MEMBERSHIPS. We want to embrace the professionals who have worked in our field for many years and care about community television and know community television. If you are a former staffmember of a Wisconsin community television station, whether you were paid or not, this membership is for you. Emeritus Members receive the same benefits as Friends plus Emeritus Members have the same voting rights as Station Members. Emeritus Members may be appointed to Board committees and be elected to the Board of Directors -- one seat on the Board each year can be filled by an Emeritus Member serving a one-year term. Station Members must nominate and the WCM Board approves those selected to be Emeritus Members. The membership fee is waived the first year the Emeritus Member joins. After that the annual membership fee is $35.
