OTTAWA, ON (January 16, 2024) – <\/strong>The Community Radio Fund of Canada is celebrating the appointment of Meredith Lister to its board of directors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lister was a volunteer and Station Manager at Heatwave Radio in Kelowna, B.C. before joining the board of the National Campus and Community Radio Association.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lister has an interest in governance and finance and is currently a senior software developer at LyricFind, a company that collects royalties for songwriters and provides song lyrics to clients. She is immediately connected to the broadcasting industry and actively monitors developments that impact the radio sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLocal, community-run radio has become even more vital as large platforms restrict news and become flooded with misinformation,\u201d said Lister. \u201cI\u2019m eager to contribute however I can to supporting Canadian stations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During her time in community radio, Lister has worked closely alongside volunteers, which is a key element to the success of community broadcasting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Community Radio Fund of Canada has been actively seeking representation among a younger set of Canadians.\u00a0 At 24 years old, Meredith will be among our youngest board members,\u201d said CRFC Board Vice President Nathan Wright.<\/strong> \u201cWe are looking forward to her perspective on matters that are critical to the funding of Indigenous, community, and campus broadcasters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lister was elected to a two-year term on the board at the AGM held on November 21st, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
