WCBU Community Advisory Board

The WCBU/Peoria Public Radio Community Advisory Board functions as an advisory body for station staff and management and to Bradley University, WCBU's licensee.

The board also represents the station in the community, is involved in fundraising activities, and advises station staff on ways WCBU can best serve the Greater Peoria community. Meetings are open to the public. Schedules, agendas, and meeting minutes can be found below.

Annual Letters to Bradley University Leadership
Eligibility for WCBU’s annual Community Service Grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting requires WCBU's Community Advisory Board to be actively engaged with station management and to occasionally advise and report to the station’s license holder (Bradley University) on WCBU's service. In that spirit, the Board formally communicates an annual update to Bradley administration, and those letters (found below) are made available to the public below.
