As summer settles in, many of us take a step back to enjoy some well-deserved downtime. But for PEG stations, the warmer months also offer unique opportunities to reassess, recharge, and reconnect. Summer is the perfect time to explore new ways to engage with your community and take advantage of the resources JAG provides.
Whether it’s upgrading equipment, rethinking your programming strategy, or diving into training opportunities, there’s no better time to focus on strengthening your station’s operations and outreach. Start with the JAG website, www.jagonline.org as your resource guide. Explore past technical articles, visit the members only section for important information and outreach information, along with our on-demand educational videos.
JAG remains active all year and our summer calendar is no exception. We continue to offer educational sessions, tech updates, and industry insights through our newsletter and website. I encourage you to stay involved. Our online format makes participation easy no matter where your summer travels take you.
If you’ve been considering joining a committee or getting more engaged in advocacy or policy matters, this is a great time to start. Your voice and experience help shape our direction and keep PEG access strong in New Jersey. All committee meetings are held virtually to make it easier for you to participate from anywhere.
Additionally, I recommend using the summer to connect with fellow members. Networking doesn’t need to pause just because the pace slows down. Reach out to another station, plan a site visit, or collaborate on content that highlights summer activities in your towns. Sharing ideas, challenges, and solutions with peers can lead to creative breakthroughs and lasting partnerships. Don’t forget to explore the many opportunities our organizational members make available to you for upgrade information, onsite visits, and much more.
As always, thank you for your continued dedication to community media. The work we do together ensures transparency, education, and engagement remain core pillars in our local governments. I look forward to seeing everyone back in person again on Wednesday, September 24th, for our next general membership meeting. This will take place at Varto Technologies in East Rutherford. Stay safe, stay connected, and let’s make this a productive and inspiring summer for JAG and all our members.
