August 16, 2010 Meeting Minutes

The meeting of the Search Team began at 7:10 p.m.

Search Team attendees: Von Oliver, Laura Bratcher, Allison Steineker, Rob Saxton, and Paul Stephens.

Jack Blake, Clarence Durham and Mike Ernst (RVCC Elders) joined the meeting for the first few minutes to thank the team for its time and efforts and to pray with the team.

The committee spent most of this meeting reviewing all candidates who had submitted resumes to date.

To date, approximately 40 resumes have been received by the search team.

Of the 40 candidates to date, approximately 28 will not be pursued, 6 will be sent applications and questionaires for follow up, 5 are new resumes and must be reviewed. One is a person who has returned the application and questionaire and the search team would like to move to the next step which is a telephone screening.

The meeting ended at 9:25 p.m.

The next meeting will be held at church on Monday, August 30 at 7:00 p.m.
