RE: Commission Appointment
Comm issioner Spehar:
The Monroe County School Readiness Coalition has a vacancy on the Coalition for an appointment from the
Monroe County Commission. Coalition Chair Lois Wolfe of Marathon has approached Keith Douglass and asked
if he would be willing to be appointed as the County Commission representative on the School Readiness
Coalition. After balancing all of his many commitments, Keith Douglass has agreed and the Coalition would
benefit greatly through his knowledge and compassion for issues of children and county concerns.
The Monroe County School Readiness Coalition would like to request that Keith Douglass be appointed to a two-
year term as a member of the Coalition representing the Monroe County Commission.
I don't know if it is possible to place this request on the March Agenda but it would assist the School Readiness
Coalition greatly to have his appointment as soon as possible.
Please contact me if you have any questions, or I can provide further information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Olney
Executive Director
Monroe County School Readiness Coalition
