SUMMARY:MBA Ascertainment Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP to Tim Hyde no later than Noon on Tuesday\, October 20th with any dietary restrictions. We look forward to seeing you there!You are invited to the Minnesota Broadcasters Association's Ascertainment Meeting that will take place on Friday\, October 23rd at KTTC-TV (6301 Bandel Rd. NW Rochester\, MN 55901). Thank you to MBA Board Chair\, Stephanie Hedrick of Gray Media for hosting! A variety of community organizations (civic and non-profit) representing Rochester and surrounding communities will be given 30 minutes to speak to MBA Members about their mission\, upcoming events\, programs\, and how broadcasters can work with them and their mission.\nServing and staying in touch with your community is a daily occurrence for you already\, but this is an opportunity to further engage with the community and new organizations. While Quarterly Issues Programs do mention that stations are required to determine the issues of importance to their communities   and that formal meetings with community leaders (which used to be referred to as ascertainment meetings) are one way to do that\, this is also a good way to create news stories and community service opportunities.\nMBA's Ascertainment Meetings are great for producers\, news staff\, content creators\, on-air staff\, sales and marketing. If there is anyone else on your team who you think should attend\, please send them this invite.\nLocation: KTTC (6301 Bandel Road NW Rochester\, MN 55901)\nBelow is an overview of timing for Friday\, October 23rd:\n11:30 AM Arrive\, Networking12:00-1:00 PM Lunch\, Minnesota Army National Guard Recruiting & Retention Battalion1:00-1:30 PM United Way of Southeast Minnesota1:30-2:00 PM Rochester Public Schools2:00-2:30 PM Ronald McDonald House of Southeastern MN and Western WI2:30-3:00 PM Alzheimer's Association of MN/ND3:00-3:30 PM Family Service Rochester3:30-4:00 PM Rochester Mayor Office4:00 PM Adjourn
