The screening committee will meet Wednesday, March 17 from 4:00 – 9:00 pm. Screening consists of reading applications using criteria developed from focus groups to evaluate each applicant and to determine which applicants will proceed to the next step of background checks. Confidentiality is of utmost importance. Candidates’ names should not become public until finalists are identified. Approximately 23 people will be selected to participate. Selection will be based on balanced representation from staff and a cross-section of community members.
