Greetings,
As you may have heard Emma Sirois will be leaving the
Maricopa County Urban Horticulture program to return to school full time in the
fall. This is great news for Emma, but she will be leaving a huge hole in
our Youth and Community Gardening program which she has deftly managed for the
past year. We hope to refill the position as soon as possible. Review of
applications will begin 7/15/02
and will continue until the position is filled. I would appreciate your
assistance in recruiting the strongest possible candidate for the job.
Please share the position description and application information with anyone
who might be interested.
