President's Message

My name is Atiba Berkley and in January, 2018 I was honored to be elected as President of the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society, after four years of service to the organization. Chris Roulhac, my predecessor, remains on our Board of Directors and has been such a great support. I’m fortunate to start my tenure with two former PBPS Presidents on my board and in addition to several new members to our board of sixteen. We have a great little family here at the PBPS and I ‘d like to thank each of you as sponsors, members, volunteers, & supporters for you interest, for your time and for your dollars that help support our mission and programs.
