The City's Press Release said she was currently working at Zoo Boise, NOT true.

WHAT A WAKE-UP CALL SHE IS ABOUT TO GET.

Well, she looks mighty good on paper and I recind my earlier remarks about her not appearing to have any supervisory background. She is also big in volunteering and that's a big plus for her. Wonder if she is aware of the problems she will face at our zoo?
Good also that she is a fund raiser!

Maybe this is an older bio, pre-tennis elbow and time with Zoo Boise??? I wouldn't think she'd be able to hang glide with bad elbows, would she?

How long did the city pr say she'd been with Zoo Boise?

She's got some good credentials, though. Certainly better than Rapp had. Let's give her a chance.

An ethics director? In Salisbury?

What does her experience have to do with running a zoo, anyway?

What's "USHGA" and "a BOD participant"?

Wow, ethics director, in Salisbury, MD...imagine that. Hey Barrie, you should go down and take some classes at the zoo when this gal gets here.

Last people that worked for Barrie and also had pilots license are not with us any longer.

A summary for the hard of thinking...

Let's see, several years as a keeper - indicates a working knowledge of zoo operations. Apparently she, like Jennifer, managed to survive in a job for an extended period. That should speak for itself.

Several commitee seats, including commitee chair. Also Ethics Director, assisting with strategic planning for several non-proffits. Certification in fund raising and grant writing. The NA Pop Mgmt Plan Manager for Black Crowned Crane also shows leadership potential.
Getting ELECTED to the condor SSP steering plant commitee probably wasn't a gift either. As far as the hang gliding, again planning and organizing.

From where I sit it appears the woman has much to offer.

Maybe try reading and comprehending the resume before typing. If that seems to be too much for you try sitting back, shutting up, and observing.

She turned down the offer due to "medical reasons." See WBOC.com
