EEO Commitment
WVBI is owned and operated by Beaver Island Community Center (“BIC Center“) (formerly known as The Preservation Association of Beaver Island) pursuant to a license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC“). BIC center is committed to equal opportunity in employment to all qualified persons and to not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or any other classification that is prohibited by law applicable to BIC Center.
EEO Reports
Because BIC Center has less than five full-time employees, it is not required to file EEO. If you have questions or concerns about WVBI’s selection of volunteers, programming or other operations, we invite you to discuss them with us. You can start the conversation by sending us an email at programming@wvbi.net.
