ASAB recruitment updates <br /> <br />a. Board members did their due diligence to reach out to church organizations, non- <br />profit organizations and social groups in an effort to diversify board members, <br />however these efforts have not, as yet, yielded any potential candidates. <br /> <br />b. The BOCC made two appointments to the board at its November 19, 2013 <br />meeting, filling the Hillsborough and the at large board positions. Two slots remain <br />open – animal trainer/handler and animal advocate. <br /> <br />c. BOCC may be changing the way it makes appointments.
