RITTER ENCOURAGES PUBLIC TO SUBMIT RESUMES
Gov.-elect Bill Ritter today encouraged the public to submit resumes for any of the nearly 20 Cabinet- and director-level jobs now under consideration by a variety of Transition Advisory Committees.
The committees are accepting resumes through Monday Dec. 4. More than 800 applications have been submitted, and Ritter said he welcomes people to get their resumes in as soon as possible.
Resumes can be submitted via the www.rittertransition.org website (click on the "apply" button).
"We're casting a net that will reach far and wide as we seek the most qualified candidates possible," said Jim Lyons, executive director of Ritter's transition team. "We have a rare opportunity to fulfill the Colorado Promise. We are hopeful that all of our applicants and ultimately the Cabinet will reflect the tremendous diversity of this great state. We want to ensure that everyone who is interested in being considered has a chance to do so."
The 18 Transition Advisory Committees that are reviewing applications for Cabinet and director positions began their work on Monday. They are expected to finish by Dec. 15. Their final reports will include a short list of candidates for consideration by Lyons
Members of the public interested in serving on a committee or providing additional input to the transition team are encouraged to e-mail info@rittertransition.org or by calling 303.352.0440.
