The past three years is the worst that it's been, particularly the attitudes toward women (on the Council).

We need to gather information and find out what it's about before we decide not to do it.

We do not have any seniors. In the past, we have always had at least one or two seniors on the team, or that have at least been around a couple of years. We just need for someone to step up and assume the leadership role this season.

I believe that figure is probably close, but still a little low. In the past, I have run across many excuses for an employer to hesitate or turn down an opportunity to provide training. Some include lack of budget; belief that this will not or does not occur in their work environment; and fear that a new awareness in employees will encourage rather than prevent lawsuits.

We may have been missing this in the past.

The impacts of this past winter have been cumulative.
