HI! I’m Christina Newton, Member Services Manager at WNRN, a AAA radio format station broadcasting across Central Virginia (and the world on WNRN.org 😉
I’m new to public radio, having joined the station at the start of the year but I hope to bring my decades of experience in the nonprofit and association sector to work to help grow the station. It’s fascinating to learn about the backgrounds and experiences of everyone here. There’s so much to learn, and I appreciate everyone sharing!
I think our frustrations or questions are similar to others in handling those down times during drives, for example, and reaching new members. We have two, weeklong drives and then a few one-day drives centered around our popular programming, and I think the station has done a fantastic job in designing these. I’ve worked through one weeklong and one 24-hour drive which were big learning experiences and hope to feel more acclimated during our next.
