At our monthly Producer's Circles, talk to our staff and network with other Open Signal producers. This month's meeting will focus on providing input on our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan.
Our Producer's Circles are held on the third Thursday of each month. This is your opportunity to let staff know about your ideas and concerns, get equipment updates and introduce yourself to other producers.
After many months of surveys, community conversations, planning sessions, a whole lot of listening and data analysis, Open Signal staff and board are nearing the final stages of our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan.
This month's Producer's Circle is your opportunity to provide input on our strategic plan. At this meeting, we’ll review the current draft of the plan and give you space to provide feedback. Please join us!

Open Signal is a Safer Space
Open Signal is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for the community. Open Signal is a Safer Space for people of color, immigrants, gender non-conforming, low/no income groups, houseless, people with disabilities, linguistically diverse and other marginalized communities who have experienced systemic racism, sexism, classism and/or oppression. We encourage the creation and sharing of content that expresses a wide variety of cultural, social, political and spiritual perspectives. Treating all people with respect and kindness is expected - even if you don’t agree with all perspectives.
We require all members of our community to agree to our Safer Space Community Guidelines and to be accountable for the impact of their actions on others who use the space. Physical and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. All threats will be taken seriously, and will result in removal from the facility.
If you have a safety concern to report, please talk to any member of our front desk staff, or complete our online form at bit.ly/opensignalsafetyconcern.
