[rehab] Introduction

[Haro, Juan, CFB]

Congratulations, Jim.  I wish you success in your new endeavor.  It is
awesome to see a fellow Federationist running a state voc rehab program.
I, as well as many of us here, look forward to seeing the positive
change that will occur as the result of your appointment.

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!
