A little news

Become a PBS Shareholder
Want to get more involved with the station? Consider becoming a shareholder of Progressive Broadcasting Service Co-operative Limited (license holder of PBS 106.7FM). Shareholding costs $50 and is kept ‘activate’ by having a current (financial) membership. Active Shareholding allows you to vote at the Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Thursday 22 November (at the Collingwood Senior Citizens Centre November @ 7pm) – you may also choose to stand for the Board.  Please contact adrianbasso@pbsfm.org.au to receive an application form or if you have any questions

Opportunities

PBS Reception * Hot off the press! FILLED ALREADY!!
PBS is seeking a volunteer receptionist to handle the 2pm to 6pm shift on Thursdays. You'll handle the phones, face to face enquiries and email, making referrals. A good phone manner and confidennce with using a computer and the internet is highly regarded. Everything else can easily be taught. Can you commit to at least 6 months? That'd be handy!  Some announcers during this time slot tend to have a lot of guests so excellent people skills are a must.
This all falls during Juke Joint, Acid Country and Fang It! Got what it takes? Then apply! Email mara@pbsfm.org.au for a position description.

Fine Print Policies and Procedures
It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the policies and procedures here andhttp://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder?
