Cumberland Media Association Inc.
is an incorporated Association.
As such we are a non-profit organisation,
but that does not mean
that we cannot make a profit, but
rather that we cannot distribute it
to our members. Any profit
is put back into improving the
broadcasting equipment and facilities.
Membership is open to individuals
and organisations. Members
can take part in station activities
including broadcasting. Meetings
are held each quarter and the station
publishes a quarterly newsletter.
Members can stand and vote for
positions on the Board of
management at the annual general
meeting.
The Association is bound by a set
of Rules which have been
approved by the Australian Broadcasting
Authority and the
Department of Fair Trading.
Under our Rules, an applicant for
membership is nominated and seconded
by existing members but
with a policy of open membership,
this is a formality.
Membership runs from 1 July of each
year until 30 June. Members
have until 31 July in which to
renew their membership. Under the
Rules if renewal is not effected
by that time, membership lapses and
a fresh application for membership
is required.

Social Security benefits. Those
