Mr. Roberts will be speaking at 7:30 p.m. in the Champlain College Council Chambers on the Symons Campus.

In this role, he managed the secretariat of the World Broadcasting Unions, and played an active part in organizing the United Nations World Television Forum on the Impact of Television on Peace and Development. The move to NABA followed eight years with TVOntario, first as Senior Managing Director of External Relations, and then as Senior Director-General of International Affairs. Roberts has also worked with the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) as Senior Vice-President, Television, and with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as a Senior Policy Analyst.
