Description

Join YEP for a virtual Seat at the Table with Joel Natalie.  Joel Natalie is Station Manager & Host of TalkErie. Joel's daily three-hour program is singularly-focused on Erie, featuring dialogue with news-makers and experts on the most-important topics our region faces. Joel's show daily features news, hard conversations, controversy, opinion and fun, with an emphasis on friendships, family, and community. Joel is uniquely qualified in our region to orchestrate this conversation on TalkErie.com.

A 35-year broadcast and communications veteran, Joel is an Erie native, who grew up in the west-side Little Italy neighborhood, was educated in local parochial schools and at Gannon University. He has been an on-air personality and manager in Top 40, Adult Contemporary, and Christian Contemporary radio. In addition, he has directed the communications at a large church, has been an avid blogger and is fully immersed in the social media ecosystem. In the last several years, Joel has volunteered his ideas and voice to the various strategic planning, anti-violence and anti-poverty initiatives in the Erie region. Indeed, his most recent assignment was as regional development leader for McLane Church, offering the church's perspective and resources to advance the Erie region. Now every day, Joel brings those years of experience and investment to bear as he wrestles with Erie's biggest challenges in a high-energy, free-wheeling yet substantive conversation, that's both engaging and entertaining. His guests have ranged from political leaders, national authors and columnists, CEO's, executive directors and entrepreneurs, and civic leaders from across the Erie community from the public, private and non-profits sectors.

Attendees are encouraged to BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch!) as well as questions for Joel.  You will receive instructions for a Zoom video conference call once you register.  We strongly encourage calling in from a desktop or laptop computer and downloading the app prior to the event.  You can sign up for free at: https://zoom.us/signup
