out new sources. The Stations encourage
organizations that distribute employment information or refer prospective candidates

of future vacancies. The Stations will

interested organizations to be added to our mailing list. Notices on the Stations’ websites extend a
similar invitation. Print ads in local
publications containing this notice will be placed annually.
