KSVY Sonoma, a local media station, is gearing up for a community-driven initiative to shape its future. On May 14th, the station will host a forum inviting residents to contribute their ideas and perspectives. This event marks a significant step in KSVY's strategic planning process, aiming to create a three-year roadmap for its continued growth and impact in the Sonoma Valley.
The 'KSVY Community Media Forum' is a direct response to the station's recent listener survey, which gathered valuable insights from the community. By opening the door to open discussion, KSVY aims to foster a collaborative environment where residents can actively participate in shaping the station's future.
Ronny Joe Grooms, KSVY's director of programming and communications, emphasizes the importance of this community engagement. "We've gathered thoughtful input through the survey," he says. "Now, we're creating a space for continued conversation and collective building of our future."
The forum will feature an overview of current insights, followed by an open discussion where participants can share their ideas. This inclusive approach encourages a diverse range of community members to contribute, including listeners, nonprofit leaders, business owners, artists, educators, and students.
This initiative is part of a broader engagement process that will also include focus groups and stakeholder conversations in the coming months. KSVY is committed to ensuring that the station's future reflects the needs and desires of the community it serves.
The event is open to all, and while RSVPs are encouraged, they are not mandatory. Residents interested in participating can find more information on Eventbrite. This inclusive and participatory approach is a testament to KSVY's dedication to community-centric media, where the voices of the people are at the heart of its evolution.
