In the recent issue of Southwestern Cavers is the statement "Pat Seiser gave NCKRI update on new location and director position to be advertised in May and hired by July" in the minutes of the April 2008 SWR meeting. This abbreviation of Pat's comment has inadvertently caused some confusion. I am not leaving the National Cave and Karst Research Institute and it is not leaving Carlsbad or New Mexico. The "director position" is to hire an Education Director for NCKRI. I expect to start advertising that position this month (and will post a note to this list at that time) and then make the hire as soon as we receive and select from a qualified pool of applicants.
As for our move, NCKRI is still located at 1400 Commerce Dr. in Carlsbad, renting space from the Permian Basin Regional Training Center. We will be staying here for another 18 months or so until our own headquarters is built. It will be the first building of the Cascades of Carlsbad development along the Pecos River just east of downtown Carlsbad. All is well with NCKRI as we make steady, important steps forward. If you have questions or want more information, feel free to contact me. Also feel free to post this message in newsletters to anyone you think may be interested.
