From the transcript
But a few weeks ago on June 26th, sadly, in my opinion, Chris submitted her letter of resignation to the committee with an effective date of August 30th. I worked with Ms. Curtis and Stacy Bentley, the HR manager, to revise the job description for this critically important position. And the job announcement was posted to Workplace Alaska on Monday, July 6th, and it closes on Friday, July 24th. So following the close of the recruitment period and consistent with past protocols, I will appoint 3— a 3-person subcommittee to review the resumes, conduct interviews, and recommend a nominee to the full committee for approval. So it's my intent to present this— the list of qualified applicants to the full committee along with a recommended nominee at our August meeting.
