Nov. 10, 2015

County Manager Dena Diorio introduced three of her recent hires:  assistants Mark Foster (Financial Services) and Anthony Trotman (Health & Human Services), and Peter Zeiler, director of economic development. Most of the questions went to Diorio and Zeiler.

Separately: Terrell Ivory, assistant director of admission and head basketball coach at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. reported on his recruiting efforts among urban minority youth, painting a picture of a way forward for ambitious, well-prepared young minorities into top-notch colleges by way of a large group of prep schools that work together to find the right fit for prospective students.

The session, broadcast live this morning, ended with a presentation by three legislators: Rep. Beverly Earle, Rep. Rodney Moore, and Sen. Joel Ford.

Edited versions of this tape will be posted later. In the meantime, feel free to scroll past the first minutes as the meeting got underway. Ivory is introduced and begins his presentation at 12:30. Diorio and her associates begin at 30:00. The Q&A begins at 54:00. The legislators begin at 1:40:05.
