MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY

Looking for programming? Need support for your grassroots cause? Find individuals or organizations in your area through our online directory.


REGIONAL MEMBERSHIP

As a national ACM member, you may join an ACM Region at no cost. ACM regions have their own boards, education programs, events, awards and much more. Our reach is global, but our local regions provide a kind of support you can’t get anywhere else. Connecting with your local region will help you expand your network through meetings and events, and discover a supportive network of colleagues in your area, working together to push our industry forward. 


ACCESS TO MENTOR NETWORK

Connect with community media practitioners throughout the United States as either a mentor or mentee. The Mentor Network allows members to share ideas, grow as leaders, and strengthen connections. ACM Mentor Network is a way for members to mentor or be mentored within our community. Members who apply will be matched with professionals around the country to share expertise and/or get advice in a confidential setting.


PUBLIC POLICY BRIEFINGS

Join in a monthly call with ACM President and CEO Mike Wassenaar, discussing current State and Federal issues affecting PEG Access TV, and what actions the individuals in community media can make in support of our industry. Calls take place the first Thursday of the month at 4:00 pm ET - recordings are available as well! RSVP by emailing Mike at mwassenaar@allcommunitymedia.org.
