KPFA LSB Board Members

The Local Station Board has 26 members: 24 delegates (18 listener representatives (L) elected by listeners and volunteers; 6 staff representatives (S), elected by KPFA staff); one representative elected by KPFA’s associate station KFCF; and the KPFA General Manager (non-voting). Delegates serve 3-year terms and are limited to a total of two consecutive terms. At least one year must pass after the second term before a former delegate may run again.
