4 | A Word From Teya Ryan Dear GPB Donor, As we come to the end of a year that’s been unlike any other, I want to let you know how very grateful all of us at GPB are for you.

A child’s grasp of a new math concept during a PBS Kids show…a riveting NPR driveway moment that opens listeners’ minds to a different worldview…a feeling of wonder about new scientific discoveries while watching NOVA. When I think of the gifts that your support for GPB provides, those are some of things that come to mind.

Your support for GPB does so much more than help make programming available.

When you support GPB, you help us furnish smiles, laughs, wonder and appreciation. You teach children, open people’s minds to diverse opinions and help us all be more informed.

You bring us all together. And for that I’m incredibly grateful.

We are proud to deliver reliable information and inspiring programs to viewers and listeners in communities across Georgia and beyond.

As the holiday season approaches, now’s the time to recognize how much we appreciate your support and simply say, “Thank you!”

Teya Ryan,

GPB President and CEO
