Asheville FM Seeks Board Members
We are pleased to announce that 103.3 Asheville FM is looking for members of our community to serve as Board members to guide our vision and fulfill our inclusive and progressive mission. The Mission of Asheville FM is to keep Asheville thriving by producing diverse and eclectic programming that inspires our listeners to build connections across our communities and to discover new music and ideas. We do this by producing diverse, insightful and relevant news, talk, sports and music programming.
Board members attend meetings (6 per year) and serve on a committee and participate in fundraising, with the primary responsibility of providing leadership, vision and direction. Board members also develop and recruit volunteer leaders, oversee and procure financial resources, support our executive director, staff and volunteers; and ensure that programming achieves AFM’s mission. Asheville FM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
Being on the board of Asheville FM is rewarding in so many ways! And fun! In addition to helping guide an important community resource, you will be making connections with other volunteers in our family and the Asheville community in general, and also learning about how local community radio serves the Asheville area. Asheville FM is a vibrant organization, our station is solvent and growing; and we need intelligent, passionate leaders to help shape our future.
Board members also attend our casual station get-togethers and other functions and get to know the members of our extended family.
As an organization that celebrates diverse voices, we especially seek women, and members of disabled, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other historically marginalized communities. Please consider a seat on our Board today! We would love the opportunity to share our future plans with you. Please send your email of interest to [email protected] and we will send you a short application.
Thank you for your consideration!

Open Air: Health Policy Initiative
The challenges of finding housing, transportation, living wage work opportunities, the impacts of the opioid epidemic, and limited access to healthcare across the region are familiar to many in the mountains of WNC. However, the negative impact of these social determinants of health (SDoH) has an even darker aspect that, for many, goes largely unseen and unspoken about: They correlate to our region’s risk level for human trafficking.
The US Department of State describes human trafficking as modern slavery, where traffickers’ use force, fraud, and/or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Frequently involving sexual violence, each instance of trafficking has severe impacts on the survivor, their community, and future generations’ health. Those who face challenges meeting basic survival or other needs have a higher risk of either actively turning to trafficking (either of themselves or others in their care), or being vulnerable to being drawn into trafficking by others, to meet those needs.
Education on trafficking is a key strategy for improving the health and wellbeing in our region. In this installment of the WNC HPI podcast, producer Andrew Rainey speaks with Rita Sneider-Cotter, the Executive Director of OurVOICE, about sexual violence and human trafficking in WNC, the intersection of SDoH and trafficking, and what’s being done in our region to address this critical issue.

Join host Bill Kopp for an evening of discussion about Joni Mitchell, sponsored by Asheville FM! Hear tracks from one of the greatest singer-songwriter album’s of all time, and have your questions ready, on Wednesday, November 1st at 7PM at Asheville Guitar Bar.
Hugely influential, Mitchell’s 1974 release, helped point the way for artists across the entire musical spectrum. Even beyond the album’s most well-known tracks, Court and Spark is filled with adventurous musicality, incisive songwriting and dazzling arrangements.
Bill Kopp will be joined by award-winning musician, singer-songwriter Eleanor Underhill. Eleanor is a high profile and beloved fixture of the Western North Carolina music scene and beyond. Underhill will share what Mitchell’s music means to her and how it helped guide her own musical pursuits.
