During the reporting period there was one job vacancy at Anderson Radio Broadcasting Inc. The position for a Radio Account Executive was filled by Robin Rhodes from December 31 2008 – January 31, 2009, Tobi Ann Ewalt from February 1, 2009 – August 31, 2009, Lynn Flemming from September 1, 2009 – November 1, 2009 and Mike Hodges starting November 16, 2009 to current. The Leader/Advertiser, Montana Broadcasters Association web site job bank, The Valley Journal, and Char-Koosta, LC Staffing and the Mission Valley One Stop Workforce Center, were used in the search for applicants.

In the case of no vacancies with our stations we accept unsolicited resumes, job applications, air tapes, personal referrals as well as having an active outreach program in which we work with the local Salish and Kootenai College and Flathead Valley Community College, which both have minority and female students.

We participate in both job fairs, career days, and offer local high school students to job shadow, along with participation in the state broadcast association and Traffic Directors Guild of America which both have a variety of listings in their job banks, which include both minority and female applicants.

The stations offer in writing, both in postings, and during the interview process that we participate in EEO and encourage minorities and females to apply for all positions within the company.

The stations management and staff are active in a variety of community groups in our service area whose membership includes minority and female members. Some examples of these groups are the Ronan and Polson Chamber of Commerce, The Polson Business Association, the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, and the Bigfork Chamber of Commerce.
