During planning meetings for projects, I was always allowed inside the room to observe and express my opinion. Richard Green relished the idea of having as many opinions as possible so that he could better the radio station. We had weekly meetings on Monday from 5pm-6pm and Wednesday from 1pm-2pm.

The reason I chose these two is because they both have some type of correlations with my internship at the radio station.
