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.
