Volunteer InformationThe Kentucky Unit utilizes volunteers in three areas of operation: board membership, audio production and educational outreach. The board of directors and the executive director are responsible for the overall management and financial support of the unit. Audio production includes all those tasks required to place the final product in RFB&D's master library in Princeton and to accommodate borrower distribution during this process.
