Agreed. Do you think any additional changes are warranted?  It seems to me that the revised description meets the standards we are looking for.

Importance: High

Hello everyone medium things in this job description are strong suggestions. Remember people are volunteering their time. The point is for them a look at have they done work with DeafBlind people before. Do they have an interest in this. In other words can then demonstrate that they can do the job and not do something inappropriate or something that violates our code of conduct. I hope this clears this question up. I should let everyone know that that is description has been sent off to the national office for final approval in the measuring stick of course is that very code of conduct. So I would hope that you would all get the process time to work its way through.
