Eddy:
In anticipation of your training, and consistent with my advice that we?re going to be hiring for O&M Specialists this fall, I?m sharing this attached generic announcement/advertisement with training universities, and I would be grateful if you?d share this with any of your recent graduates for consideration. I?m going to hold off on hiring until you?ve delivered your Structured Discovery instruction here, but I?d love to have some qualified applicants, who would model excellent skill and ability as teachers and potential leaders. Should you have questions, please be in touch.
Best,
Daniel B. Frye, J.D.
