Non-profit Status
Community Media of the Foothills is a lively 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Monrovia, California, founded in the early 1980s. We are community-focused and put our members’ needs and voices first.
Our structure lets the community help guide us. An Appointment Committee selects seven volunteer members to serve on the Board of Directors. The Board sets policy, oversees the budget, and hires senior staff.
We’re dedicated to growing together and letting community priorities guide our work.
Community Media of the Foothills board meets quarterly on Mondays at 7:00 PM at KGEM‑TV Studios, 847 E. Olive Avenue, Monrovia, CA.
The public may attend Board of Directors meetings and speak during the agenda’s public input periods. People may talk about items not on the agenda during these times. Comments to the board should be no longer than five minutes. For each action item on the agenda, comments should be limited to three minutes.
Additional Information on Public Input:
Because meetings may be recorded, please speak from the podium so the camera and microphones can pick up your picture and sound.
During Public Input, people may speak about any agenda item or any topic related to Community Media of the Foothills, such as operations, programming, or use of the studio or equipment.
The Board knows people may disagree with actions by the Board, the Executive Director, or employees of Community Media of the Foothills and may raise those issues during Public Input. The Board will treat speakers with respect and asks the public to be respectful in their remarks. We can disagree strongly, but not use or threaten violence.
The Board will only thank speakers during Public Input and will not respond to comments. People may ask questions or demand action, but the Board will not address those points on the spot. They need time to research, review past actions, check data, and investigate before replying. For the same reasons, the Executive Director will also not respond during Public Input.
Often during Public Input, people ask about or demand action on issues the Board has already decided. They may voice disagreement, but the Board will not answer questions or respond to demands made during Public Input.
For non-action items (like reports), speak during the Public Input portion. Public comment is only allowed during action items and is limited to 3 minutes.
