Still waiting on a decision from the committee. -

The meeting on 30 January was mostly positive. The committee asked for a mock up on combining the 2 contract positions into 1 part time position. SE sent it on to the committee on 31 January. SE will wait to create the job descriptions until we have clarification on whether this will be 2 contractors or 1 part time. -

SE will send an email to WMF asking for an update.
