Day 6 – Kai

Today I went to the legislature building with Stan Williams who is the lobbyist for the symphony. His job is to talk to senators and representatives about the symphony’s budget so that when they decide on the budget they will support them and get them the money for the program. I was able to meet multiple lobbyists and senators, and I got to see Nash! He is shadowing a lobbyist so Mr. Williams knew the lobbyist so I got to talk to him and go out to lunch with them! Overall, it was a really fun day, where I got lots of exposure and got to meet many new people.

Day two

What a wacky Tuesday. The drive from Durham(My City) to Raleigh (Bairds City) Is nearly 30 minutes long. In that time I could of closed almost 17 deals. Today I worked on deals worth about 360 million dollars of potential. Crazy! Money! After I left my business I realized driving home that I could sell every house I saw!

Day 4 – Kai

Today was a slower day, as I continued to work on projects by making visuals for some office memos. I was able to meet the lobbyist which was quite interesting as I could get a glimpse of what that aspect of the Symphony is like and how that takes its role in the company. I will be shadowing him next week at the legislature which I am excited about. Also, me and Rhoda made test kits.

Day 2 – Kai

Today the CFO gave me insight into his relationship with donors and specifically government funding. He talked about how he and lobbyists talk to legislatures to educate them on their program to hopefully get support from them when deciding the budget. They may show a pamphlet like the one below to illustrate what they have done with the money and how successful they have been.

The legislature session has started to decide the budget for state programs which is important as that can adjust how much money they can use to achieve their company mission. In addition, I was able to listen in on an investment committee meeting which brought me information about how they tackle their investments and their strategies for that. Also, it is close to the start of their Summerfest and the end of their Fiscal year, so the whole building seems quite busy, as there are a lot of moving parts at this time of year. I am looking forward to seeing all of the efforts behind the scenes pay off in the concert next week!
