Held at the Bridgeport Holiday Inn in March, the 14th annual event drew hundreds to hear from Miller, NBC Sports Group’s president of programming. He discussed the evolution of television sports since the 1970s and how he oversees nearly 9,500 hours of programming for both NBC Sports and the NBCSN Network.

Funds raised will support grants to local charitable groups and scholarships for high school seniors who demonstrate a commitment to the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”
