Front Studio Progress
Our engineering committee has been hard at work on the new front studio. We've got track lighting, some new furniture, a new console, a stack of audio hardware, and the monitor speakers. The stream decoders for the Content Depot are also coming online, which will be a great new resource.
Thanks to John, Darren, Alex, and all the other volunteers working on the project, and thanks to all you contributors who are helping to make this possible!
BOD Election Candidate Call
Dear WEFT Supporter,
Each year at this time we put out a call for candidates for the member-elected seats on the WEFT Board of Directors. Out of a total of four member-elected seats, there are three vacancies that can be filled during this year’s election. Normally only two seats are up for election each year. We had one member-elected Board member resign due to health reasons prior to the end of their term and so we need to fill the remainder of their term.
