Although not all of the honorees were in attendance, those present were very pleased and enjoyed the evening of networking. One very busy honoree, television and film producer, Roger Bobb (Guyanese descent), was unable to attend due to his hectic filming schedule (he’s currently producing The Rickey Smiley Show) so we delivered his award and medal to him personally!
