  • WQPT Quad Cities PBS Western Illinois University – Quad Cities
    WQPT Quad Cities PBS Western Illinois University – Quad Cities Current Year Fiscal Year 2015 WQPT Quad Cities PBS, a public media service of Western Illinois University embraces the core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity, personal growth and social responsibility. As a public television station focused on lifelong learning we extend the reach of WIU into the community. While we work to further the Higher Values in Higher Education strategic plan, we are in our second year of a three-year balanced scorecard framework for station planning. Throughout this report, we will highlight the ways that the goals of the station’s strategic plan both deepens our partnership with the campus community and fits into the overall University strategic plan. I. Accomplishments and Productivity for FY 15 A. WQPT FY15 goals and objectives The station turned its attention to leadership development, and took steps to refresh and reinvigorate its Community Advisory Board. A new charter was adopted in October, which defined board terms and the role of the CAB. In January, four new board members were seated. The station also held a series of three community leaders’ summits in January and February to collect information about the community value of WQPT and its ability to support it. This information will be folded into the station’s strategic planning process and helps inform its priorities through the balanced scorecard. Throughout this report, how the station is tracking against the outcomes-based performance metrics articulated in the balanced scorecard will be noted. The station continued its focus on two priority themes for programming and outreach, utilizing its resources to make a difference in the community around Early Childhood and the second year of the initiative named Embracing Our Military.
