Salary survey?

[Wanda Hill]

Kay,

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks for broadcasting the salary survey msg to the lists. I'm cc'ing
to Seth via the webmaster address, as he is no longer on any lists that
I know of.

As Employment Director (oversees the Salary Survey as well as Job
Bank), I wanted to know if the process would resemble any from previous
years, if any existing but unlinked webpages needed tweaking for year
numbers and opening/closing dates (particularly last year's
surveymonkey lead-in), if any of the STC pages needed blurb additions
(main, salary survey). If you need any pages modified/added, please let
Seth and/or me know.

Wanda
