Our speaker will be David Crabtree, CEO of PBS North Carolina. About David:
David Crabtree joined PBS North Carolina as its CEO in April 2021. Crabtree’s devotion to public service dovetails with PBS North Carolina’s goal of elevating the state’s communities to brighter tomorrows. Serving the third largest public media market in the United States, PBS North Carolina’s portfolio includes in-person engagement, four over-the-air channels and a growing portfolio of digital content.
A broadcast journalist at WRAL from 1994 to 2022, Crabtree’s distinguished career has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. He won the prestigious Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award, garnered thirteen Emmy Awards and was selected the Radio-Television News Directors Association’s reporter of the year four times. Crabtree is a member of the North Carolina Media & Journalism Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters' Hall of Fame.
Among his most memorable assignments, he lists the election of Pope Francis, the funeral of Nelson Mandela, and the funeral of Mother Teresa. His profound belief in bringing compassion and dignity to his stories is clearly evident in his interviews with Holocaust survivors, North Carolina migrant workers, and victims of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. While working at WRAL, Crabtree has covered most major news events at home and abroad.
Crabtree’s devotion to public service includes serving on the boards of Hospice of Wake County, Duke Raleigh Hospital, Duke Children’s Hospital, the North Carolina Symphony, and The Divinity School at Duke University.
