Vision: Redwood Community Radio envisions a community of listeners who, guided by the example of RCR programming, work together to create better, more just and sustainable world systems to ensure that all humans and other living species on earth move toward a higher quality of life and are able to survive challenges in the time ahead.
Mission Statement: Redwood Community Radio will encourage a communication center of open airways (KMUD) for all voices to inform, educate, entertain and inspire the listening community through quality programming.
Ground Rules: Speak respectfully to one another. Focus on issues, not personalities. Support the facilitator. No interruption. Make criticism constructive, specific, substantiated and, ideally, when the person(s) are present. When required, a five-minute break shall be granted to attendees to encourage peaceful communication. Speakers during Open Time will be assigned an amount of time not to exceed five minutes. Any further discussions during the meeting will be between Board Members unless a guest is acknowledged by the Facilitator or is scheduled as part of the agenda.
