NOMC conference call
by debandjeff＠allophone.com 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hello Everyone, I hope that all of you are doing well, and keeping warm. Since it has been quite a while since our last opportunity to get together, I would like to have an NOMC conference call in the next few weeks. This would be an opportunity to catch up, and to discuss some of the current concerns, as well as the teaching challenges that we all are working through. Some possible dates would be February 23rd, or 25th, March 2nd, 4th, or the 9th. Please let me know which of these dates will work for you, There is some flexibility in regard to these dates, so a different evening would be possible as well, if none of these will work for the majority of you. Please let me know your availability. Jeff Altman MA NOMCT CVRCB

On the Hunt!

Good afternoon! I recently received my NOMC and employment through my state has fizzled out due to COVID. I know I am not the only one effected by this pesky virus, however if you know of any employment opportunities within a state agency or private agency, I?d be appreciative if you could pass them along to me. I am keeping my options open and looking into other avenues, but right now I just want to work. I hope you all are staying healthy and safe! Respectfully, Nickie Pearl 502-489-4457 njp at twc.com
