Roberta is part of the “bedrock” of the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and the industry the association represents. Roberta has supported the association as a member, International President, an active member of numerous committees, and consistent “cheerleader” for nearly 30 years. Those who know Roberta — meaning most of the industry — respect her professionalism, limitless upbeat energy, willingness to mentor others and expertise in Business Development and Public Relations. She greets the world with a smile; and behind that smile is a wealth of wisdom, born from decades of experience. Through her leadership, organization and support of women in the TEA, launching and co-hosting the TEA Summit and guiding the TEA through the early and turbulent years as President, Roberta stands above many and encourages all to be the best they can be.

 

Roberta has made tremendous contributions to many other industries, outside of the TEA. In her “spare time” Roberta was a founding member of the Nightclub & Bar Association; has served on the Board of Directors for the National Restaurant Association Marketing Executives Group; was recognized by Toastmasters International for launching over 50 Toastmaster clubs; served on the Board for E-Zone (Urban Land Institute) and served three years on the City of Seattle Fair Campaign Practices and Ethics Committee.

Entertainment industry. She’ll encourage the diversity and inclusion that our industry must represent, both through her support of others and by example. Roberta will further define why TEA Masters are such special and talented individuals within our industry.
