Comment: The same form has been used as the adivsory board minutes for three seperate programs. Not sure this form is applicable to this CRC approval process.
Meeting Purpose: DGS Custodian-OA JAC- how does this meeting show employer/industry support of the office technician program.
I am going to abstain from these last two votes, I as do not understand the form provided under Advisory Minutes requirement.
I am suspect when the same form is used three times.
