The goals of WNYC’s Multicultural Advisory Coucil (MAC) are to:
- Acquire insight and learn about the issues concerning the various ethnic communities in order to fully serve their needs as media-service organization.
- Serve as a resource for information related to closing the educational achievement gap for ethnic communities.
