OAKLAND BUSINESS WOMAN SPOTLIGHTED IN NATIONAL PRESS FOR EVENT PLANNING FINESSE
Oakland, CA (BlackNews.com) - Summer is not over for event planner Deanna Roberts, Founder of Oakland based, D.R. Roberts Event Management Inc. (www.RobertsEvents.com). Roberts continues to plan and organize upcoming events given the positive media exposure recently received.
The July issue of Ebony Magazine references Roberts as an event planning expert who offers advice and tips on how to plan a successful family reunion. Similarly, the American Urban Radio Network (AURN), recently interviewed Roberts about being a successful minority entrepreneur during the show, Surfing the Net, which reaches 475 radio stations nationwide. AURN is the only African-American owned network radio company in the United States, reaching more than 25 million listeners each week. The East Bay Business Times recently ran a full page article interviewing Roberts about the companies success, both nationally and locally.
"The company continues to grow as people around the country learn more D.R. Roberts Event Management," states Roberts. "Where we excel is with our personal attention to our clients needs, no matter how big or small."
Roberts remains busy preparing for two Bay Area upcoming events. The Black Economic Council will be hosting a luncheon, Building Economic Bridges which will feature a panel discussion with NFL Hall of Famer, Ronnie Lott; Sports Agent, Bill Duffy; President of 100 Black Women Oakland/Bay Area Chapter, Brenda Wright; and Oakland As MVP, Dave Stewart. The event will be moderated by Billy Hunter, Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association. This first class affair will take place at the Oakland Marriott City Center from 11am-2pm on Wednesday, August 10th. For more information, contact droberts@robertsevents.com
In its inaugural year, Roberts has organized the widely publicized Friends of Faith Walk for a Cure. This breast cancer awareness charity walk is in honor of Faith Fancher, Oakland's KTVU-Channel 2 news anchor on "The Ten O'clock News, who publicly battled breast cancer from 1997 to 2003. Many friends and colleagues of Faith, including current media personalities, Renel Brooks-Moon, Barbara Rodgers, Carolyn Tyler and Janice Edwards, will walk/run 3.33 miles in this family oriented event.
Proceeds from the event will support breast cancer research, treatment and education. The event will take place on beautiful Lake Merritt, downtown Oakland on Saturday, August 20th at 8am. Participants of all ages are encouraged to join in on this worthwhile cause. For more information and registration information, visit www.faithfancher.org
