Ms. Hruska thought the need for good, ongoing training resources for staff in general is necessary. Dr. Frazier suggested the topic of salaries. Mr. Pokorney commented that local competition makes a difference. Dr. Coldwell stressed that it is a serious detriment to research when people leave. Dr. Legg added that people leave if they feel they are not where the action is, or if they are stuck in a job where they cannot improve their skills.
Technical training needs to be considered.
