Dear Mike and all,
I guess I am confused about having an evaluation. My understanding is
that at present we have no evaluators- Is this incorrect. Am I wrong in
that the NFHR BOD has to make some decisions on the recommendations of the
Evaluation Committee before another evaluation can be held? Is it just
rumors that Wayne and Jim will no longer work together and that we need two
evaluators and that there are no other choices? Did the board decide
something since the the middle of February about training more evaluators
and giving them the "license" to evaluate? Please let me know on the
digest or in person. Thanks Tom.
P.S. The MWFHC will have another evaluation in 2000 if I have any say
about it. Yes I'll do, and am aware of the work.
