[CT-NFB] Thought-Provoking Question of the Day

[cbduquette at comcast.net]

Hi, good question and unfortunately I’m sure it comes up often. As for a work environment, the HR Department, yes include your direct report, but HR is the responsible party for this type of issue. As for school, I’m thinking the admission department or student advocacy department. But, if all else fails the Dean or President should get called upon

Be well,
Cheri

Like for this absentee voting for the primary on Tuesday, I used the solution of being sent the sort of write-in ballot that is sent to military and overseas voters from Connecticut.  I didn’t just tell my registrar of voters to fix the problem, I had a solution—a temporary and not all that great a one—to propose to him to cast my vote as I wished to.

We thought that since the students seem to be enjoying this new initiative, why not get the rest of the affiliate involved? We thought it would be a great way to bridge the gap between students and the rest of you guys.
