<div><br></div>Dear David,
<div><br></div>
<div>What part of the word "and" don't you understand?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It is grammatically correct to use the word "is" to refer to
both, </div>
<div>due to the presence of the compounding qualifier "and".</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you diagrammed this sentence, it would break down to:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>(1) Its programming is controlled by its membership, </b></div>
<div><b>which is open to all.</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>AND</b></div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div><b>(2) Its operational philosophy is controlled by its
membership, </b></div>
<div><b>which is open to all.</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hence the use of the singular form of the verb in this instance.</div>
<div>Your argument for the plural "are" applies only when compounding two
plurals.</div>
<div>Please review "Compounding Sentences" chapter of your fourth-grade grammar
book.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>If the two were separately controlled by distinctly different
entities,</b></div>
<div><b>They would not be joined by the word "AND" in this sentence.</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Mission Statement assigns control</div>
<div>
<div>of programming</div>
<div>AND</div>
<div>operational philosophy</div>
<div>to its membership</div>
<div>which is additionally qualified as</div>
<div>"open to all".</div></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Please also note</div>
<div>the absence of the words </div>
<div>"General Manager"</div>
<div>"Program Coordinator"</div>
<div> "Board of Directors"</div>
<div>or any reference</div>
<div>to their roles in this regard.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Management and Coordination</div>
<div>are essential to KZ's successful</div>
<div>fulfillment of its grant requirements.</div>
<div>(Grants that were obtained</div>
<div>on the basis</div>
<div>of its Mission Statement, BTW.)</div>
<div>So they do have an obligation here . . .</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The membership entrusts the Board</div>
<div>to hire and make certain staff</div>
<div>is capable of doing so.</div>
<div>As Diane pointed out,</div>
<div>it involves the skill to</div>
<div>work with, rather than merely exclude</div>
<div>controversial opinions/issues.</div>
<div><b>Yes, skillful means are required.</b></div>
<div>This is the challenge that faces all</div>
<div>Community Radio Stations</div>
<div>in these times, as</div>
<div>this is the true essence </div>

It states a singular item, i.e. "the . . . philosophy is controlled

is the theory or attitude held by a person or organization that acts as a
