Community Advisory Board

The CAB is a volunteer group that provides community input to BPR about programming, public service and community engagement. CAB members represent different backgrounds, geographic regions, and needs and interests of the listeners and the communities Blue Ridge Public Radio serves.

The CAB is governed by a steering committee, responsible for basic organizational matters. The steering committee is comprised of the following members: three CAB members, one member of the BPR Board of Directors, and one member from station management.
