EMA director - the applicants
UPDATE: The list below is incomplete. There are in fact roughly 30 applicants for Emergency Management Director, but neither the county personnel board nor the EMA office has all the applications. They were all copied and sent to the EMA board members themselves.
I will have a full list for you Monday. I’m told it does include Middletown City Councilman Bill Becker, former police chief and city manager.
Original post:
Today is the deadline to apply for the job of Butler County Emergency Management Director (go here for background on the shake-up at EMA).
Here are the applicants to date, and the job description listed on their applications (it’s open for the rest of the day, so I’ll update if more come in):
- John Milstead Jr., police chief at the Linder Center of HOPE in Mason (a mental health hospital)
- John Fussner, president of Christopher Technologies, an emergency management software company in West Chester Twp.
- Mark Wanner, hazardous materials/weapons of mass destruction trainer, Global Training Solutions
- Joseph Witzman, part-time instructor of criminal law at Southwestern Community College
- Mark Bowden, trauma nurse at Bethesda North Hospital
- Janet Stanovich, Madera County, California, emergency services coordinator
- Paul Myers, senior manager at Myers Associates Inc., Cincinnati
- George Francis, Bass Pro Shops inventory control specialist
These are only their current jobs. Many of them cite past experience as more relevant to this position (Francis was a captain in the Hamilton Fire Department, his resume says)
Any idea who you think would be most qualified?

If you read the job announcement on the county website only one of these would come close to being a qualified candidate for the position. My bet is on the good old boy politics and John Boy Becker who is not qualified as the job announcement reads.

If the personnel office and the EMA Office doesnt have them who does? I smell a rat. How can those that have applied be assured their applications will ever be seen? The only thing bigger than the mess of running off the last director is going to be the mess these people create in hiring a new director that is qualified for the position. Oh yes, what happen to the consultant to assist in this hire and the national search. Every time there is an opening in county government they promise a consultant and a nationwide search but in the end hire or promote someone who has no idea what the position requires. Everyone remember the consultant and nation search for a county administrator.

Well it’s clear who Josh Sweigart, the county commissioners, and sheriff want for EMA Director. If it was left up to them John would have the job. Josh, did you help Becker write his resume.

Что-то мне кажется, на вашем сайте развелось слишком много так называемых говн*комментатров, которым лишь бы ляпнуть чего-нибудь:)
