You may or may not be aware of the new procedures for searches--all applicants submit their materials online, and the committee members can access those records electronically. The procedures for searches will be explained at a meeting with a representative of Human Resources. In addition, Lori Crandall will be a staff member of both of the searches to provide support for interview procedures. She has always done this, but will be extra helpful in assisting us with the new electronic system.
Please let me know if you are unable to serve.
Lori will be in contact with you to set up a meeting in the next week.
Thanks so much for this critically important service work.
Cindy
