Reaching The Next Generation: Talk by Imogen Pohl
Imogen is the operations director at CKXU-FM. Imogen has been actively involved at University sitting on both the Senate and as the Vice-President Academic of the Students’ Union. She is a director with the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta and has sat as both a Chapter President and currently as the Secretary of the KBG Canada National Board. As Imogen has helped to bring in new members every year to CKXU, KBG, and the University of Lethbridge. As organizations, we need to start the shift to zoomer-focused marketing and recruitment now, or potentially lose out on a generation so eager to be vocal and involved in their communities – perfect candidates for the Campus and Community Radio landscape!
