Dom
good work - now we need to get some good representation on this committee. Do you know the Dept that will be coordinating this committee? Can you get a name and phone number. We will contact them to discuss selection of the reps.
We need to get you to a leadership conference and into these committees.
Much thanks
Genevieve Gipson, Dir
