APTS Launches the Leadership Council!
Last year, APTS launched the Leadership Council, public television's grasstops advocacy network designed to put station volunteers in touch with their legislators to talk about their local station's impact on the community The Council currently boasts 34 members who represent 30 public television stations across the country. We are actively seeking more Council members and are asking stations to please consider who in their community would make a good Congressional ambassador for your station. Additional information on the Council, as well as recruitment materials are available online .
