Opening Plenary

Community Media organizations across the United States are at a crossroads with many challenges and just as many great opportunities.  Each of us must chart a path for the future based on our values, history and vision.  As we open this year’s National Conference, we want to challenge you to Discover and Re-Discover Community Media, and invite you to explore ideas and possible futures in our “Universe” and the many new partnerships and opportunities that lie ahead. 

In this opening plenary, we’ll present you with a glimpse of past and vision for the future, to spark conversation and inquiry for the next several days about what’s possible.
