Ownership / Management
We operate on a basic philosophy of equality and democracy. Over the years we have tried to use terms that are less hierarchical to describe what we do. However, it can be confusing for new, and indeed longer serving volunteers and staff. Here is a brief outline of the ownership and management structures of Community Radio Kilkenny City, which we hope may help:
Board of Management
This is the group of volunteers that manage the affairs of Community Radio Kilkenny City. This group meets every month and sets policy. The members of this Board are elected at the Coop’s A.G.M. Only shareholding members of the Coop can stand for election to the Board of Management. This Board is the legal management body of the project.
