Organizational ReviewMaine Public has administrative offices and production facilities for television, radio and web services in Lewiston, Bangor, Augusta and Portland. The station's transmitters and translators, located throughout the state, deliver programs to nearly all of Maine's citizens. The organization employs 94 full time and part-time people. Maine Public is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees which include the President of Maine Public, a Gubernatorial appointee, a University System appointee and up to 24 Community Members from across the State. The Board meets a minimum of four times a year and all meetings are open to the public. Maine Public has a volunteer community advisory board (CAB) with Membership reflecting the diversity of the state and Maine Public's audiences. The purpose of the CAB is to advise the Board of Trustees and Maine Public staff as to whether the programming and other policies of Maine Public meet the needs of the communities that the station serves. The CAB meets twice a year and its meetings are also open to the public. Maine Public's revenues come from the voluntary contributions from over 48,000 individual supporters, as well as underwriting support from businesses and nonprofit organizations. Additional funding is received through an annual appropriation from the state of Maine and from television & radio community service grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
