I enjoyed every conversation with Research Director, Inc.’s amazing team, our tremendous clients, and everyone who makes our industry great. I want to especially thank my partner, [Founder & CEO] Marc Greenspan, who had the vision to bring me into this company and partnered with me to build a truly remarkable organization.” Greenspan remarked, “Charlie, thank you for your impactful contributions.

Now is the time of my life where I must shift my focus from my career, which I love, to my family and my community. Research Director, Inc. and the radio industry will always be in my heart. My thanks to all who were such an integral part of this life‐changing journey.” Until Dec. 31, your best wishes can be sent to Sislen at csislen@ResearchDirectorInc.com.
