Iroquois County Broadcasting EEO Narrative Statement for WGFA AM/FM

August 1, 2006 – August 1, 2007

It is the policy of WGFA to provide equal employment opportunity to all qualified individuals without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, disability, military status, citizenship, or any other legally protected status in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal law. WGFA widely disseminates information on each of our vacancies to outlets which will reach a diverse audience of qualified individuals.

For each vacancy at WGFA, a search committee composed of a mix of Station personnel at different levels of authority is convened to review applications and choose applicants to interview. Interviews are performed both in a group setting and individually. Once hired, evaluations focus on excellence in job performance, responsiveness to WGFA’s goals and vision, and professional and skill development needs. WGFA also provides career counseling and coaching to station staff.

We did not have any openings this year for full-time employment, however, we did participate in job fairs at the Kankakee Community College and at The Conclave learning conference in Minneapolis. Several people took information, a few filled out an application and 1 returned EEOC information requested that is available at our web-site

WGFA is currently administering four initiatives that address the EEO “prong 3” longer-term recruitment requirements:
