The ACM-NE usually uses the opening plenary at its Spring Conference to focus on PEG in the local state or region in which the conference is held. This year will be no different.

This year’s Opening Plenary is entitled “RI PEG, How it’s Different, Why it Works”

Being the smallest state in the Union presents Rhode Island with advantages and disadvantages. And that goes for PEG access as well. PEG in Rhode Island is controlled by a quasi-government agency that also oversees Rhode Island PBS. Their studios are spread out throughout the state and serve many communities. The state also has three state-wide inter-connect channels that have become extremely popular.

Joining us as part of our plenary panel will be Elizabeth Espositio, Director of PEG in Rhode Island. She will be joined by two producers, Bob Venturini who produces An Hour With Bob, and John Carlevale who heads up a political program called State of the State.

It should be an enlightening discussion. Make sure you join us on Friday, May 9th at 9:30am.
