The 2010 PBS Annual Meeting will be taking place May 17-20 in Austin, Texas. The meeting will combine the best features from the PBS Development Conference and PBS Showcase into this exciting gathering that will bring together station managers, programmers, producers, development leaders, and communications and interactive professionals to spotlight PBS content and encourage innovative efforts to strengthen PBS's public service mission.

In attendance from NAPT will be Shirley K. Sneve, Georgiana George Lee, Jessica Kinser and Princella Parker. In anticipation of our impending trip to Austin, we have anxiously planned, developed and coordinated various items for the Annual Meeting. One of which being the newly updated National Minority Consortia (NMC) website that will be launching at the beginning of PBS Showcase. The new website features videos, blogs and upcoming projects from members of the National Minority Consortia.

Most notably, we're very excited about the National Minority Consortia (NMC) sizzle reel that will showcase upcoming releases from the NMC. Amongst NAPT's upcoming releases are Video Letters from Prison, For the Generations: Native Story & Performance, Good Meat, Games of the North and Telephone Warriors.
