Streamlined Management for a Smooth Conference: To ensure a successful and well-organized conference, we have made some key management changes:

Note: Funding for underrepresented individuals to attend the NCRC provided by the Community Radio Fund of Canada will be included when NCRC registration is opened.

  • Barry Rooke, Executive Director, will oversee logistics, including accommodation, transportation, and coordination of the Awards Gala.

  • Eloisa, Communications Director, will lead the development of learning sessions, promotional materials, and manage the Awards process.

  • Operations Director will handle sponsorships and funding to ensure financial success.

  • CJS Events Coordinator will support on-site logistics during the week of the conference, managing last-minute arrangements and volunteers.

These improvements in management roles will ensure that the NCRC43 Conference and Awards Gala run smoothly and efficiently.
