We are a small shop (radio only) and have several key positions open at the moment.
1. It’s all-hands on deck for us. We are on the backup antennae and line because the main was damaged and the replacement is on backorder, so our tech guy is crucial to making sure we stay on the air. Our news director is scheduling the pitches. Our Community Voices team is helping record pitches from some of our volunteers, who have come in and just done a phenomenal job in articulating why they love NPR. Everyone has a role it seems.
2. This is my first drive, I started in mid-June, but my understanding is drives have included everyone for the last few years.
3. I am new to this role, so that’s helping in some capacity. I have a few duties from my former job at the university that wrap up in mid-September, which are unfortunately taking up a good chunk of my time. We also have a new underwriter and I think in future drives, he could be key in securing support from sponsors/businesses.
