Our Vision

Our vision is to provide a platform in our community for the free exchange of artistic expression, information, and differing points of view, and to encourage cooperation and collaboration among our local government entities, schools, service groups, other non-profits, and especially population segments whose voices are often not heard, such as veterans, the elderly, elementary, middle, and high school students, and indigenous people, to strengthen our sense of community and work toward a better future for all residents of Curry County.

Discussion Forums

We provide a forum for local government officials and community leaders to dialog with the public through interviews, round-table discussions, and live call-in programs.
