information obtained from a person on a privileged or confidential basis, or the purchase of property or services

The Community Advisory Council helps TPT fulfill its mission to enrich lives and improve our community through the power of media. The Community Advisory Council serves as TPTs eyes and ears ‐‐ providing input about programming and keeping the Station abreast of the latest community issues and concerns.
Federal law requires that TV Stations have a Community Advisory Council. A Community Advisory Council serves in an advisory role. The substantive responsibility and authority for the TV station operations are left to the Board of Trustees and Station Management.
TPT’s Community Advisory Council will:
Station Management will present information to the Community Advisory Council in at least two meetings each year to update the Council about TPT’s goals and programming. Station Management will facilitate a discussion of TPT programming and community issues.
Community Advisory Council members are asked to serve a 3‐year term.
The Chair/Convener of the Community Advisory Council will report to the Board of Trustees at least twice each year.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the TPT Community Advisory Council, please send your resume and a description of why you wish to volunteer on the Community Advisory Council to Melissa Wright.
