5.A. Education Coordinator Hiring
Rationale:
We received 21 applications for our Education Coordinator position and interviewed six very qualified individuals. I made the decision to offer the position to Sydney Abbott of Wahoo and she has accepted. Sydney's first day will be Monday December 7th. Sydney has a bachelor's degree in Sustainability and Natural Sciences and is currently working with the Wahoo NRCS office as Soil Conservationist. She has education experience working with individuals of all ages and is pursuing her Master's Degree in Natural Resources Sciences with an emphasis in Human Dimensions. I believe Sydney's passion for education and her conservation-minded attitude will make her an excellent addition to our staff.
Recommended Motion(s):
