Summary: Over the 31 years of the Emerging Issue Forum, we have had CEOs, governors, and presidents as speakers. The first time ever, we have booked a red, furry monster – Elmo. This week’s guest, Joy Potts, is accustomed to dressing up in a costume as the former Read-a-Roo for UNC-TV. She now has a bigger job as Director of Children’s Media and Educational Services at UNC-TV. This installment of First in Future is part of a special TV series produced in collaboration with UNC-TV, and recorded in UNC-TV’s Legislative Studio in downtown Raleigh. Taped segments will air on the North Carolina Channel. Visit www.ncchannel.org/schedule/ for specific air dates.
