Dear Supporter,

I am thrilled to reach out to you as the new president and CEO of The Public’s Radio and Rhode Island PBS. As you may know, these trusted organizations merged in May. But this is not simply an organizational change; we are merging our strengths, content, technology, and talent to build something entirely new that will meet your needs in bold and innovative ways.

Our merger and this moment represent one of the most promising, exciting things happening in public media today. People are paying attention to what we are doing here, and we are ready to rise to that challenge. Thank you for being a member and supporting our mission. Your commitment to quality programming, in-depth journalism, education, and community engagement makes our work possible. We can’t do it without you.

Whether through feedback, volunteering, donating, or watching and listening, your support is both appreciated and needed. I hope you will consider a gift in support of our merger and belief in our future. Please click here to donate.

Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey. I am incredibly optimistic about our shared future and look forward to the milestones we will achieve together!

Respectfully yours,

Pam
