The PNB met on Thursdays, January 18, January 25, and again on Thursday, February 1.
New directors were seated, and new officers were elected. Susan Young was elected the chair of the Pacifica PNB. Minerva Saunders is now vice chair. Julie Hewitt will serve as secretary.
An in-depth report was provided by ED Stephanie Wells; the bottom line is that the network is in dire financial straits. This was illustrated in detail by a chart of the aged payables. It was also made clear that even the proceeds of the sale of the KPFK building will not bring us to a break-even point. Some of the proceeds of the sale will be set aside to pay the upcoming FJC loan and EID loan payments. She also announced that a liability insurance policy for the network has now been procured.
Susan Young did an excellent job of running the February 1 meeting, but unnecessary interruptions extended the meeting time to 3.5 hours, when it could have been far shorter and more productive.
The Pacifica National Board (PNB) started the process by which the various committees of the PNB will be populated. Each local station board will be sending two Non-Director Delegate Representatives to the National Audit Committee, and the Governance Committee. Our LSB non-director representative to the Finance Committee will be our Treasurer, Kim Kaufman. Myla Reason will be explaining the process of the election as she is introducing a motion for the local station board to elect 2 non-director LSB delegates to represent KPFK on both the national governance committee and the national audit committee.
The process was also commenced for the members of the PNB to nominate and elect members of the Personnel, Governance, Audit, Coordinating, and Finance Committees of the Pacifica National Board.
Clearly, we have our work cut out for us. -- Jan Goodman, KPFK listener director on the PNB
