2019-20 WPPB LEADERSHIP NOMINATIONS
The 2019-20 WPPB Leadership Election will be Thursday, May 9, 2019. This is your chance to nominate classmates (or yourself) to head up a department in the radio station next year. WPPB is a very busy entity, with a lot of community service, sports, fundraising and more, along with all the regular stuff that goes into running a radio station. We are also the two-time National High School Radio Station of the Year, so we have a good reputation to keep up and a title to defend, so we take things seriously. Nominate people who will work hard, have fun, and help us continue the winning tradition!
Job Descriptions are listed below. Under each one, nominate someone for the position and tell why you are nominating them. The student names for both junior classes are to the right. You can nominate anyone from either class. (Jalen and Ralphie are obviously not in the running)
