The Daily Hustle: 4/13/10

TDH will catch ya on the flip side …

… There's no City Council meeting this week, but for anyone jonsing out there, the draft agenda is already up. Have at it.

… The Parks and Recreation Department is inviting you to meet the finalists for two vacant Assistant Director positions today. From the city's press release:

The session will be at 4:30 p.m. at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Arts Center, 1165 Angelina St. Each candidate will introduce themselves and be given 30 minutes to respond to questions from the community.

Earlier this year, meetings were conducted to gather community input for the recruitment profile as part of an extensive recruitment process. Nine Candidates will begin interviews April 12 and continue until noon of April 13.

Each candidate will be interviewed by three panels and will participate in an assessment exercise. The top candidates selected as finalists will participate in the community meet-and-greet session.

We sure are big on the public process here, aren't we?
