[Imc-supervisors] [IMC] [Imcamericorps] [Imc-bookkeeper] AmeriCorps Business Meeting this Thursday at 5:30

I would agree that we could table the exit interview discussion to the 
August meeting to keep this agenda more manageable. I don't see any 
problem with having the interview that Beth has proposed however, and I 
assume that the member's site supervisor would not be involved in the 
interview, so that a fair evaluation of their supervision could be gained.

Thanks,

Ed
