• Subordinate Evaluations.  Each year, the President requests feedback from employees to better evaluate those who report to her.  This year, the information is being gathered via an electronic survey.  Notices were sent out yesterday to those employees who report directly or indirectly to Rhonda Richards, Anthony Underwood, Mary Beth Busch, Jeff Wilbur and Connie Dziagwa.  Please check your email and respond by the deadline.  If you did not get an email and you think you should have, please contact Peggy Jameson.  The electronic format allows respondents to provide feedback in a confidential, anonymous manner and permits summary information to be provided to the President.  Thank you in advance for your responses. (Submitted by Peggy Jameson 5/5/10)
