Board of Directors

The KUOW PSPR Board of Directors provides fiscal oversight and management of affairs, property, and interests, ensuring the organization meets its goals, steering the organization towards a sustainable future by providing insight for ethical governance and financial management practices. The KUOW PSPR board is comprised of 16-25 directors who serve for three terms, three years each.
