<br>https://pacifica.org/indexed_bylaws/art8sec4.html<br>Article Eight, Other Committees of the Board of Directors,<br />
Section 4: Committees of Inclusion<br> <br>In addition, there shall be established, in each of the Foundation's radio<br />
station areas, standing committees of the Board to monitor the under-representation of communities in their respective<br />
radio station areas. These "Committees of Inclusion" shall include one Director and three LSB members from each radio<br />
station area who shall be elected by their respective LSBs, and such additional individuals as those four shall choose<br />
by majority vote. The Committees of Inclusion will monitor both station programming and staffing in consultation with<br />
the LSBs. They will also monitor the diversity of election candidates and work with the LSBs' appropriate committees to<br />
improve the diversity of election candidates at the local and national level. These Committees of Inclusion shall<br />
monitor diversity participation in consultation with the general manager, local committees and the Board, the status of<br />
which will be published and maintained in each respective radio station area. Communities deemed to be under-represented<br />
by the Committees of Inclusion will be identified and the extent of their under-representation shall be communicated to<br />
the Board, the respective LSBs and any local outreach committees. Station managers and appropriate LSB committees will<br />
be expected to consider these communities in their future decisions about staffing, programming, and candidate outreach,<br />
subject to any applicable state and federal laws and regulations. All station managers and Committees of Inclusion will<br />
report to the Board and their respective LSBs quarterly on the status of diversity within their radio station areas. The<br />
Board shall query and monitor radio station areas with identified under-represented communities and any plans for<br />
addressing these under-represented communities' increased participation. Where necessary with due notice, the Board will<br />
suggest and/or direct managers and committees to implement specific measures to improve the status of under-represented<br />
communities in their respective radio station areas. The Board will assist and encourage station managers and Committees<br />
of Inclusion in finding new ways to improve recruitment efforts in their respective radio station areas.<br>-----
