Our Mission

Our mission is to tell Radio’s story at all levels, advocating a media mix that includes Radio, and to provide professional development opportunities to our board of directors and their staffs.

“Ability proceeds from a fusion of skills, knowledge, understanding and imagination, consolidated by experience.”
