2. CREA Office Support — Findings of Time Spent. After the Board had agreed to extend the discussion for five minutes, Governor Stouffer volunteered to work up a few models that might serve as the basis for an office support position description. Board members with suggestions are to send them to Governor Stouffer. The models are to be completed by October 29.
