Once hired the firm will work closely with our amazing staff and will also reach out to all the various committees to get their input and suggestions. I am really confident we will see the benefits of hiring this firm. Secondly, I spoke about reaching out to vocational schools so we can tap into the pool of people making a career change or reentering the work force. We have put together a task force and one of our members has arranged for us to meet with the program coordinator at one of our local schools. This is something I am very excited about.
