    When I first met David Rose, while I was working at WGBH as head of its Media Access Group and National Center for Accessible Media, I knew that we would be sharing our mission and values in tangible and productive ways.

What I cherished most about being in and around CAST was that everyone's voice counted during these and any discussions. It didn't matter what that person's role was. Everyone's opinions, from David Rose's ponderings to interns' thoughts, were heard, weighed, encouraged, and respected. This is what defined CAST for me.
