Membership

Become a Member of Educational Broadcasters Adelaide

Radio Adelaide is open to membership to the station’s licence holder, Educational Broadcasters Adelaide Inc, which is an incorporated association governed by the EBA Inc. constitution and a Board of Directors elected by the community.

Membership Policy 

EBA members play a crucial role in our station community by participating in Annual and Special General Meetings. Our members have the right to one vote at any meeting of the Association on every issue that may arise. Only Members are eligible to nominate for vacancies on the Board of Directors to help steer the strategic vision for the station.   

Membership is open to anyone who wishes to be part of the Radio Adelaide community. This is to align with its purpose and values and to abide by its Constitution.  

All active Radio Adelaide volunteers are required to be Members and to contribute towards the management of the station.

Refusal, Expulsion or Discontinuation  

The EBA Board reserves the right to refuse, expel or discontinue Membership and will provide a clear reason as to why. 

Any person whose application is rejected, discontinued or expelled by the Board has the right to appeal that decision at the next Meeting of the Association. If a simple majority of members present at that meeting support the appeal then the person shall become or continue as a Member. 

Membership Fee and Renewal 

Membership renewals are annual with the collective renewal date of June 30.  Fees are $80 or $45 concession.
