Helping One Another
We would like ELOs to send to the Employment Sub Committee examples of letters, presentations you have made that have been well received so that we can add to the document library and make it a resource that is rich in content for the employment community to access.
Examples of how to do effective presentations and man an industry stand are on the site.
