<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Hi Brendon, I was part of a group of WA DSS professionals who drafted the attached letter. Many came from the 2 year colleges and some from 4 year. My role is to share it with WSSSC so I wanted
to start with you as our DSSC liaison to ask your help in sharing it with the WSSSC Board. I’m also cc my VP Dr. Cruse so she is aware. Thanks for your help and let me know what I can do to share/clarify the concerns in the letter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
