Far East Broadcasting Company - Search for New President

Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), which broadcasts Christ-centered radio programs across Asia and the former Soviet Union, is currently seeking its next President. Based in La Mirada, California, the next leader will guide FEBC as it leverages a large, established media network to reach people's minds and hearts through ways both old and new. FEBC is embracing new distribution networks such as satellite, internet, cellular, .mp3 audio and social networking to fulfill the Great Commission. Although the methods have changed, the message does not. The next President of FEBC must have a passion for evangelism and a mature dependence on the Lord.

Founded in 1948, FEBC is directly responsible for programming, broadcasting and assistance to 21 countries, and FEBC collaborates and coordinates closely with its partner, FEBA, in the provision of broadcasting and programming to 29 additional countries. The various entities are united by the FEBC global mission and their historic international partnership.

This partnership has grown FEBC to broadcasting in more than 130 languages — totaling 700+ hours of programming per day. FEBC has succeeded first and foremost due to God's blessing and in part because each radio station is imbedded in the community, broadcasting in the native tongues of the listener and spoken by indigenous voices.

A priority will be to continue FEBC's progression from being a "corporate headquarters" to a resource center for affiliates. Travel will be significant as the new President gets to know the leaders of the international affiliates and partners with them to achieve their missions.

Also key will be refreshing the donor base and approaches used for fund-raising. The new leader must capture the minds and hearts of a younger generation of donors and understand that they think differently than those who supported FEBC in its earlier days.

The President must collaborate with leaders of international affiliates to capture the ears of a new generation of listeners who hear programming not just through radio but through the Internet, on mobile devices and in a variety of other ways. Through this collaboration, the new President will grow FEBC from its roots as a radio broadcasting company to a media-savvy organization. The successful candidate must be in tune with the quickly evolving new world of media and able to create and constantly revise a modern media strategy.
