To all those looking for work at the present time, I interviewed for
this position and would HIGHLY recommend both the organization, the
area, and the people.  I interviewed with the director and 3 others
and the 'feel' wasn't stuffy in the least bit -- it was very relaxed
and I felt like I was talking to people I'd known for a long time.
I've already told them not to be surprised if they hear from me at
some point either reapplying for a position or visiting on vacation.

For anyone looking at the position and thinking the salary is low as
posted, please take a look at the cost of living in the greater Des
Moines area either using something like CNN money or just the housing
listings on desmoines.craigslist.org -- it's a very nice area with low
traffic, a highly rated primary school system AND IT'S CHEAP.  What
exactly do I mean?  Decent 3BR homes for $800.  The most expensive
property I could find was a 5 bedroom furnished executive home on 6.5
acres for $2600 -- I'd say compare that in California but I don't know
anywhere you can get 6.5 acres.

Ultimately, I chose to stay in my current location after being offered
a position and salary bump but this is a great opportunity for the
right person -- I just wasn't the right person at this time.

Thanks,

Dennis
