Advancing the Mission: NRB 2025 Opening Session Set the Stage for a Transformative Week
The Opening Session at the 2025 NRB Convention was a vibrant event, setting the stage to bring together nearly 6,000 attendees over the course of the week. From powerful speeches to poignant messages, the session underscored the vital mission of the NRB, while rallying its members to continue advancing their work in media and faith-based communication.
Troy A. Miller, president & CEO of NRB, welcomed attendees and set the tone for the event, emphasizing the importance of coming together to advance faith-based broadcasting. His words reminded everyone of the essential role NRB members play in both protecting and promoting the values they hold dear.
“Whatever you’re involved in,” said Miller, “we believe, and the Founding Fathers believed, you have the right and the freedoms to do it. We are here to keep those rights and freedoms open to you.”
