Has this role been filled?

Hi Andrew,

It’s still open. We have one person who we’ve invited to our next meeting to see if we might select them into the role, but if you have another candidate you’d like us to consider, I’d recommend telling us about it quickly as the role might be filled later this week.

We’re looking for another Website Technician again. Email [website.circle@sociocracyforall.org] to inquire. Please share relevant experience or qualifications you have.
