Dear colleagues,<br><br>Per my previous note, I sent our list of 'attributes for a school director' to Dean Burgess last week. He responded with thanks and a request for more information. <br><br>Specifically, he asked the authors of these two contributions to please provide further information for the underlined words (that
is, please expand and give more detail about your vision for what would be embodied by those traits).<br><br>

As our submission process was anonymous, I can't track who submitted those three lines of text -- hence my email to the whole faculty.<br><br>If you did author one of those lines, could I ask you to please address the Dean's request by sending me your thoughts by email (<a href="mailto:arnold@ag.arizona.edu">arnold@ag.arizona.edu</a>)? I will compile them and respond to his request accordingly.<br>
