Dear Central States Alliance for Community Media Members,
It's a very exciting time to be working and volunteering in Public, Education and Government Access. We have seen studio transformed into HD streamlined workspaces and video on demand become just as popular as television.
This newsletter is meant to keep you informed with PEG Policies around our region and nationally, along with highlights from past events and important information for up and coming activates. Enjoy!

PEG Access has its ups, downs and battled with cable giants, but we can never forget why we are here. Our facilities are the voice of each community. Free speech is one of the many things that makes America special and at the end of each day we hope you are leading others to educate, entertain and inform their fellow citizens. Wishing you all a happy and healthy spring!
Sincerely,
Alysha Schlundt-Bodien
