Good Afternoon,

We need your help for a project we are working on at the NRTC.  We are trying to recruit people to participate in a research project on job retention and career advancement.  Please see the consumer recruitment announcement below.  It was sent previously, but some of you might have forgotten to send it out to people who might be interested - whether they are currently working or have worked in the past.

As you know, we all want to find evidence based research to help us with policy and procedures in our agencies, but we have found one of the most difficult aspects of doing research in our field is finding enough subjects to make the findings useful.  This particular study requires 400 people and so we need your help to assure we have a sample large enough to give us good reliable data.

Please share freely. Thanks for your help.
