Report for Board of Directors Meeting 19 June 2002
from the Summer Programme Co-ordinator
Nick Iszakovits, June 18, 2002

I began my position as Trent Radio's Summer Programme Co-
ordinator on May 6, 2002.  My primary concerns at that time were
becoming familiar with the volunteer Executive Producers and
programmers, as well as attending to the daily operations of
Trent Radio, which included setting office hours, responding to
mail and telephone enquiries, facilitating executive producers
with programming decisions, archiving CDs and general cleaning
and maintenance, and listening for the brokered programming
every weekday morning.

During the past month and a half, I have convened two Executive
Producers meetings; compiled the Summer 2002 programme schedule;
co-ordinated a programme promo party; and made preparations for
the Live Music on the Lawn outdoor music day for June 20, 2002.

I have also organized a tour and workshop for the Community
Training and Development Centre's Media Arts day camp, which
will take place on July 2, 2002 and an information session for
participants in Trent University's SECC program, which will take
place on July 10, 2002.  Laura Farina, with the help of Nathan
Rambukkana, Emily Addison and Barb Woolner, organized and
carried out a Radio Project Day for Convocation on May 31, 2002.
Last, but not least, John Muir hosted a volunteer social on
May 21, 2002.

 Further plans for the summer include:
- a live outdoor radio day for July 16, 2002
- a volunteer/programmer appreciation barbecue
- a second program promo party
- a Radio Project Day to coincide with the Peterborough Folk
     Festival in August
