Bob Griffith » Advisory Board member

The GDR Board is pleased to have Bob Griffith as a member of our advisory Board:

Bob brings a national media and marketing expertise to GDR. He was instrumental in creating the Google Audio "GDR PSA" model that enabled GDR to be on over 1200 radio stations nationally with its message. Bob is a veteran radio executive including serving as
former Los Angeles Radio VP/ General Manager,w/ various Broadcasting positions w/ ABC, Cox Communications, Metromedia and Viacom, former Sr VP Radio Advertising Bureau and present Strategic Partner Development Manager w/ Google in Santa Monica.

Although he presently resides in Los Angeles, he seems to be spending more and more time at his mountain home in Durango CO. It is there he escapes the trials and difficulties of 21st Century urban living. As a result it was in Durango, he found GDR's practical and immediate solutions to our obvious concern in the world.... "Climate Change" actionable and reasonable.

"In todays world, creating a more sensible and livable planet sounds like a monumental task, but all large tasks can be more easily accomplished, with a focused number of small successes'! "Good Dirt Radio appears to understand the value in a large number of small victories, from a large number of people. It can make a remarkable impression in creating a more livable environment for all"!

I'm delighted to be counted as an advisor and hope I can contribute.

Good Dirt adds advisory board member!
