No one that was a routine employee lost their job as a result of having to implement these changes in the wages.

The report issued by the committee will help us in making that determination. The Foundation Board, however, is exploring the alternative of hiring its own Executive Director.

It's built to address flexibility on the service side of business. You have a lot of variability that needs to be baked into service. It starts with the commitment to the customer. Based on that, forecast in the need for parts and labor capacity at each location ... that translates into recommended action, what to buy, what to stock, what to move.

It's time for this board to look hard and long at minority hiring. We don't have any minorities in technology.
