So much of Marge Betley s life has centered around theater somehow. But as a child, her parents didn t take her to the theater. She learned only a little of it from some of her nine siblings. And she picked up some experience from a local professional theater just getting off the ground. But when PBS broadcast a production of Charles Dickens "Nicholas Nickleby" out of London, Betley watched it from college.

The Arkansas PBS Foundation has a new name, a new board president and new board members as it supports a bigger role than ever for Arkansas PBS, formerly the Arkansas Educational Television Network.
The Conway-based network proved “just how essential and valuable the network is to the citizens of Arkansas” through a pandemic year of educational services, including curriculums for students learning at home and development programs for readjusting teachers.
The foundation has a relatively new executive director, Marge Betley, after it healed a rift with its parent network that widened over the firing of longtime foundation COO Mona Dixon in 2019.
