last year, in knoxville, tenn., director jarvis spoke about the commission report, comparing it to otherell-written reports. director jarvis elaborated by explaining that the to not necessarily need another report, we need to take action. we agree. subcommittee members might be asking themselves how does the nps move from a report to the desired outcomes? if it is legislation, we recommend accountability measures attached at park levels and individual employee annual appraisals. we recommend greater emphasis in these areas. simplify the application and hiring process fees, and utilize authorities that moved the best college students into the workforce. establish close relationships with universities and colleges. with regard to nps recruitment and diversity, we believe we could be of assistance under a cooperative agreement, with the right set of conditions. this would be true with the college chapter program. we think targeting minority university and colleges is the way to tell. -- the way to go. we believe that for a better future, time and energy must be invested into the in the care
