PBS Reno Promotes Chris Roach
to Development Operations Coordinator
RENO, NV (MAY 18, 2026) – PBS Reno is pleased to promote Chris Roach to the role of Development Operations Coordinator. Roach originally joined PBS Reno in January 2025 as Community Partnership Coordinator.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to take on this new role as Development Operations Coordinator and to continue supporting the mission of PBS Reno alongside an exceptional team and the northern Nevada community we serve,” said Roach.
As Development Operations Coordinator, Roach will continue working as a liaison between sponsors of PBS Reno while helping increase critical funding support for PBS Reno’s local programming and educational outreach including its Curiosity Classroom workshop initiative. Additionally, Roach will focus on workflow coordination and will provide additional support toward PBS Reno events and other membership initiatives.
“Chris is an important part of our Development team and this promotion reflects both the quality of his work and the expanded role he is already playing at PBS Reno,” said Emma Glenn, PBS Reno Vice President of Development. “He brings a thoughtful, team-focused approach to everything he does, and I’m excited to see him continue growing in this role as we strengthen our sponsorship, events, membership, and partnership efforts.”
PBS Reno continues to focus on building the structure needed to support long-term growth. As the station expands its locally funded support, Roach’s work will help strengthen the systems and coordination that allow PBS Reno to better serve donors, sponsors, partners and the broader community.
