in the country and locally within the San Diego market.
The Membership area of KPBS functions to develop and implement strategies and

the membership functions of database marketing and data quality, membership operations, digital fundraising, member engagement/cultivation,
direct and e-marketing, audience services (including front desk staff), on-air fundraising and the vehicle donation program. Combined
Membership area revenue expectations are set annually with a FY23 goal of $9.85M ($8M from membership and $1.85M from the vehicle donation
program).
The department also manages the communications and relationships (in person, via phone, and via email/online) with
approximately 60,000 active station members who donate less than $1,200 annually (members who donate $1,200 and more are separately managed
