Ms. Flamion gave an update on the open ACO position stating that the new hire should begin mid-March per County Board Approval. Chairman Krajewski asked if the Internships and Seasonal positions have been posted. Ms. Flamion stated they are on the County's job posting site and the generic positions are grouped with several other Departments (http://www.dupageco.org/HR/Jobs/35495/). Committee Member Anderson would like the Animal Care and Control Internship and Seasonal positions posted separately and be more specific. In addition to enrollment in the Veterinary Medicine education track at the national VMX Conference earlier in the month, Dr. Barbara Hanek, Administrator Veterinarian, let the Committee know that she was able to meet with many vendors and peers.
