Melissa Roy Elected Chair of Detroit Public TV’s Board of Trustees
Detroit Public TV’s board of trustees has elected Melissa Roy, managing partner at Lambert Global, as its new chair. She succeeds Timothy Nicholson, chief operating officer at PVS Chemicals, Inc, who served 12 years as a Detroit Public TV (DPTV) board trustee and will continue in service as an emeritus trustee.
Roy has been a member of the DPTV board since 2015 and helps guide governance, strategy and journalistic integrity for the station through committee work and her dedication to the Detroit regional community.
“DPTV is an important and unique community asset – wholly owned by the residents of the Detroit region,” said Roy. “This nationally distinctive media ownership model is a wonderful opportunity to leverage the voice of Detroit.”
