Form 990, Part III, line 2 Maine Public launched seven new FM stations which extended Maine Public programming and Emergency Alert System (EAS) capacity to regions around Bethel, Millinocket, Moosehead Lake, and Aroostook and Washington Counties. This FM expansion provides better EAS coverage to underserved areas of Maine and is another significant step in localizing EAS messages. One of Maine Public's long-term goals is to provide EAS messages at a more local level than the statewide blanketing as is done today. A second goal in Maine Public's mission is to provide signals to places and people that we do not reach. We strive to deliver our signals to all Maine citizens, regardless of where they live and these new signals went a long way towards that goal. Additionally, during this period, we added new local programming to Maine Public Classical, engaged communities across Maine with a news department "listening tour" to see what stories and issues are most relevant to Mainers in different areas of the state, and improved our Maine Public App with better, free access to all our content and services. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 is reviewed by the President, CFO and Controller at Maine Public. In addition, the Board of Trustees' Finance Committee reviews and approves the Form 990 and the entire Board of Trustees receives a copy for review prior to its filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Maine Public provides a conflict-of-interest questionnaire to all Board members and officers annually. The Employee Handbook specifically addresses conflict of interest concerns.

Organizational Review Maine Public has administrative offices and production facilities for television, radio and web services in Lewiston, Bangor, Augusta and Portland. The station's transmitters and translators, located throughout the state, deliver programs to nearly all of Maine's citizens. Maine public employs just under 115 full-time and part-time people. Maine Public is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees which include the President of Maine Public, a gubernatorial appointee, a University System appointee and up to 24 Community Members from across the State. The Board meets a minimum of four times a year and all meetings are open to the public. Maine Public has a volunteer community advisory board (CAB) with membership reflecting the diversity of the state and Maine Public's listeners, viewers, and supporters. The purpose of the CAB is to advise the Board of Trustees and Maine Public staff as to whether the programming and other policies of Maine Public meet the needs of the communities that the station serves. CAB meets twice a year, and its meetings are also open to the public. Maine Public's revenues come from the voluntary contributions from over 60,000 households, as well as underwriting support from businesses and nonprofit organizations. Additional funding is received through an annual appropriation from the state of Maine and, through this year, from television & radio community service grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Maine Public serves as the backbone of Maine's Emergency Alert System.
