This will allow the AA and EC Board to dedicate its activities to pursue its goal of successfully establishing a viable arts and events center that provides equitable access to the arts as well as a facility that can meet other community needs. Evaluation Summary will be based on how well the Administrative Assistant has addressed the job description.
