The combination of this four star venue and PMBA’s redoubled focus on delivering a truly meaningful educational experience will undoubtedly attract public media’s best and brightest, including broadcast and radio General Managers and CEOs, financial and human resource executives and their team members, as well as an array of public media supporting organizations.
