The email below was posted by me to bikies on FEb 9th 2007.
I don't know why the announcement hasn't been posted to bikies, other than perhaps the fact that I've been out of the office on paternity leave since before the press release was distributed to BFW staff (and I'm trying to get back out of the office asap, so please direct further inquiries on the subject to Jack, the new ED, or Amy Heart, the board's communications committee chair).

Is it just my paranoid imagination or has there never been a post to Bikies about the ED job opening at the BFW?

Oh. Wait. This (below) just got forwarded to me along with an inquiry from a member of the Madison press corp.

Interesting. I don't remember this coming across the wires to bikies either. Hmmmmm. Could there be a message in the omission?
