The Nathan B. Stubblefield Foundation /WMNF seeks new members for our Board of Directors.
WMNF is seeking applicants to join our Board of Directors, the Nathan B. Stubblefield Foundation (license holder of WMNF Community Radio). We are looking for representation as diverse as our WMNF community.
It is open to members of the community who are not currently volunteering at WMNF. We are especially seeking people with skills in finance, fundraising and development, or a technology background. There is one seat reserved for a candidate under 30 years of age.
The Board of Directors usually meets on the third Monday of each month at 7:15 pm at the WMNF studios, 1210 East Martin Luther King Boulevard, Tampa 33603. Some meetings are hybrid or held remotely via Zoom.
Directors serve for a term of two years and each director serves on a minimum of two Board committees; committees may meet monthly, quarterly, or as station needs require. WMNF seeks a diverse board which reflects not only the listeners of WMNF, but the community in which we serve. We seek board applicants with experience and knowledge in the areas of finance, technology, development and fundraising, who are not currently volunteering for WMNF.
