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. 

Interested in joining WCBU's Advisory Board? Board membership is capped at 17, with two positions reserved for Bradley University students. Members serve two year terms, with the exception of the BU student members, whose terms are one year. Prospective members are generally nominated in each May, approved in July, and seated in September. Click here to submit an interest form.
