Self-Employment

Hello all. Just wanted to let you know that I have accepted a different position here at NKHS. The board of directors decided our new Executive Director should have an Executive Administrative Assistant so that is what I will be doing effective 8/16/04. My position of JOBS Coordinator is curently being advertised - Master's level, covering both the St J and Newport sites - 1 case manager in each location.

I will miss meeting with all of the wonderful JOBS staff around the state. I am amazed at the level of committment each of you show to assisting our young people in the often rocky transisiton to adulthood. Keep up the good work - you each make a HUGE difference in the lives of those you serve. Good luck. My new phone is 334-7451 ext 3087. Take Care NW
