Dear Jim,

Congratulations  on your appointment.  

It's good to see you here on the rehab listserv.  

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you in your capacity as
director.  I'm sure you are all ready acquainted with the RSA liaison to
Montana, Charles Sadler.  I think you will enjoy working with him.  

Best,

Subject: [rehab] Introduction

Hi All,

My name is Jim Marks, and I've recently switched careers from directing a
disability service program in higher education to directing Montana's voc
rehab/blind and low visions services.  First week on my new job, I had to
propose 10 percent cuts as our state struggles to live within its budget.
Montana is one of two states with a budget surplus, and it looks like our
state leaders want to keep us in the black by cutting costs.  The programs I
direct include more than VR and blindness rehab.  The job also includes SSA
disability determination, Medicaid Infra-structure Grant, Disability
Navigators, and the state's public transportation coordinator.  Some of you
know that I've been a Federationist for a long time.  Anyhow, I just wanted
to say, "Hi," and to let you know I'm subscribed to this listserv.

Best!
