Discussion

I remember the search committee in 2014 said they didn't state how many hours per month the position was, and that meant people only applied that were looking for a full-time position.

I think we should drop "Simply Accounting" as we've been using Quick Books the last few year.

I think we should beef up the computer skills to something like "comfortable learning new computer skills" given the reliance on the wiki and phone.com.
