Friends of Public Radio Arizona (FPRAZ) at its October 13, 2015 Board of Directors meeting approved the establishment of the FPRAZ Emeritus Council.  Membership in the Emeritus Council will be comprised of past Board Chairpersons and past Board members who wish to remain engaged in FPRAZ's mission beyond their term as members of the Board of Directors.

The inaugural Emeritus Council FPRAZ Liaison will be current FPRAZ Director Steve Curley who is beginning his seventh year of service with FPRAZ.   Emeritus Council membership is voluntary and is on an individual time available basis.

Emeritus members will participate in special projects selected independently by the Council itself or as requested by the FPRAZ Board of Directors.

Council members are responsible for:
* Providing historical perspective to the Board of Directors as needed.
* Assisting to identify and influence community leaders who could serve on the board.
* Acting as an advocate on behalf of FPRAZ and the Valley's public radio stations.
