<DIV>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry for the late reply...I promised this information to all of the member groups as of Dec 15, 2007.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As of the Dec 14, 2007 (and today as well) I have received only ONE expression of interest for SAR Alberta Provincial Training Coordinator (TC) - from Ric Henderson of Red Deer SAR. This information is forwarded to you in the interests of transparency. Although there was only one expression of interest received, I still feel it was worthwhile to ensure that the appointment is done in an open and transparent way. Thank you to everyone for your patience.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As planned, the SAR Alberta Executive will be considering this application and making an announcement shortly as to the appointment of the SAR Alberta Provincial Training Coordinator at which time my term as SAR Alberta Interim Provincial Training Coordinator will end.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be meeting with the newly appointed TC and ensuring that all of the information that I have received from the groups regarding the training grant requests have been passed on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I look forward to working with the new TC and the member groups as part of the provincial training committee. We have a lot of work ahead of us!</DIV>
