[HumanSer] driver's license required

[Serena Cucco]

Hi all,

All of what Justin said is true, except if the job is working with people
with mental health issues.  Many people with mental health issues don't
drive.  I have seen many positions with this population that require a
driver's license and mention having to transport clients to appointments.
Good luck!

In past years, none of the division meetings have been streamed.  I think
there's wi-fi only in the room where the board meeting, general cession,
and banquet are.  My state will have a virtual caucus, but only because a
tech genius brings his own equipment.

Serena
