Margaret Hair, CBI Secretary

A bit about me: I work with KJHK 90.7 FM, the student-run radio station at the University of Kansas, as the station’s program coordinator. In that role, I work with our student directors to oversee the station’s efforts in content (arts and culture, sports, multimedia and online content) and programming (everything on the radio). Our staff also works with KU’s student programming board to produce small- and large-scale concerts; I advise that group, as well.

Before joining the advising staff for KJHK, I worked with student programming and community service organizations at KU. My background is in newspaper writing; through undergrad and the first several years post-grad, I worked as an arts reporter for newspapers in North Carolina and Colorado. On the education front, I’ve got a sort of war between two basketball schools going on — my undergrad degree is in news and editorial journalism is from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I’m pursuing a graduate degree in marketing communications from KU.

For the CBI Board, I’ll be your contact for all questions related to CBI membership and registration for the National Student Electronic Media Conference. Additional areas of the secretary role include distributing CBI’s print and electronic newsletters, and taking minutes at CBI board and membership meetings.

As a new member to the board, I’m looking forward to learning more about current issues encountered by student-run radio, television and electronic media organizations. CBI offers a way for those organizations to stay connected and support one another through the challenges and opportunities of a constantly changing field; I’m excited to be involved in a group that takes those new developments head-on.

If you have any questions about membership or just want to get in touch, feel free to reach out at membership@askcbi.org.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
