The priorities of the Pacifica national office - in addition to the day-to-day management of network operations -- have been to:

1) Get a clear handle on the network's financial situation and to stabilize economically.

2) Begin the healing and rebuilding process in each of the five signal areas as mandated by the December legal settlement and recent board resolutions. This includes the urgent need for reconciliation between Local Advisory Board's and local stations in the run-up to LAB elections and by-law changes.
