Other improvements measures to the program <br /> that have been started included: <br /> _ <br /> 111/0 <br /> (1) Evaluation of the EEO/AA achievements of all management <br /> personnel as a part of their overall job performance; <br /> (2) An applicant pool of minority and female candidates for <br /> selection referral; <br /> (3) Refinement of the County's recruitment and selection process; <br /> (4) Validation of testing instruments; and <br /> (5) Publication of an EEO/AA annual report. <br /> Efforts are currently underway to begin training on affirmative action and <br /> management skills effective July 1985. We plan to offer the training to all <br /> management and supervisory personnel. Our primary goal in the program is to <br /> help all staff recognize the application of equal employment opportunity <br /> principles as tools of sound management rather than mandated responses to <br /> • government regulations. <br /> I appreciate the continuing commitment of the Board of County Commissioners <br /> and staff to the provision of equal employment opportunity through affirmative <br /> action efforts. <br /> ,..„... -- . <br /> Kenneth R.
