<br>
Great that we already have a candidate. <br>
In my opinion, Sylvia is active and enthusiastic. And, I think it\u2019s important to review the job description and expectations with anyone interested.<br>
This is a position where consistency and attendance are important. <br>
We want to be sure she\u2019s committed. <br>
Just my thoughts.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dana<br>
