Welcome to the KPFA Local Station Board Home Page
The KPFA Local Station Board supports the station
through outreach, membership/fundraising and community
needs assessment. Established by the Pacifica Bylaws,
local station boards exist at each of the Pacifica network’s
five stations.
Listeners must be KPFA members in order to run,
nominate and/or vote in KPFA Local Station Board
elections. Becoming a listener member is easy: all it
takes is a contribution of $25 or more per year. We
encourage all listeners to join and have a voice in their
station.
Under the 2025 revised bylaws members can also now
vote directly for Pacifica National Board Directors.
The Pacifica National Board sets policies for the network
as a whole and makes major programming, financial and
governance decisions.
KPFA, was the first listener-sponsored, community radio
station in the United States with a mission of peace and
social justice. KPFA is the most financially successful
station in the network with the most members and listener
support. The KPFA Local Station Board has consistently
opposed commercial underwriting to protect the integrity of
programming and supports the editorial freedom of staff
and KPFA’s diverse management team.
