WERU Community Radio is looking towards the future and we need you to add your voice to the “Voice of Many Voices” by taking our listener survey. Our Board of Directors and Staff have begun a strategic planning project in which listener input and insights are essential.

Due to popular demand, the deadline for completing the survey has been extended to Friday, April 20.
