otherwise I don\u2019t think Saanvi will be very happy\u2026\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMoving forward, since we have exhausted our board members with monthly updates, we have decided to shift the focus to the younger generation of JRAD\u2014primarily our Vice Presidents! We have VP positions ranging from areas like Education to Outreach to Finance and Legalities. JRAD is blessed with a team of hardworking, overachieving, and talented VPs, so we can\u2019t wait to shine a light on each individual over the next few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I officially pass the torch to the more vertically challenged members of JRAD, I wanted to make a special announcement. For the first time in history, JRAD will be welcoming our very own Keynote Speaker to our 2026 Summer Camp: Richard Roberts II!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
**cue applause**<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. Roberts, Data & Governance Lead at PUBLIC Consulting Group, is a seasoned leader with many years of experience spanning technical, operational, and consulting roles. Throughout his career, he has built a strong reputation for guiding complex business and technology initiatives, strengthening enterprise processes, and helping organizations translate data and systems into meaningful business value. His background includes experience in financial systems, business process improvement, enterprise technology, and consulting, giving him a unique ability to bridge strategy, operations, and execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At PCG, Richard has contributed across critical enterprise initiatives and has now transitioned from the Enterprise Architecture team to the Data Intelligence team, where he is leading the firm\u2019s Data Governance and Data Quality efforts. In this role, he is helping shape a stronger foundation for trusted data, improved decision-making, and greater organizational alignment across the enterprise. His leadership reflects a deep commitment to operational excellence, cross-functional collaboration, and advancing the strategic value of data across PCG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Roberts\u2019 influence extends beyond the organization as well. He is passionate about volunteering in the local community through his time with the American Red Cross and Henrico Humane Society. Most important though is his desire to help inspire the next generation of leaders by sharing the importance of technology, growth, and future opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on behalf of the whole JRAD community, we are incredibly excited to hear from Mr. Roberts during our camp week this summer. His real-world experience and life lessons will be incredibly valuable to all<\/em> of our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s everything I have for you now! Stay tuned for our July newsletter\u2014I wonder which VP will be brave enough to post first\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
