Intermountain West Joint Venture Staff

This funding opportunity addresses staffing recommendations from the Operational Assessment. Staffing recommendations include: â¿¢ For recruitment, retention, and staff management purposes, the IWJV should transition core staff positions from independent contractors to employees of a hosting entity, managed on a day-to-day basis by IWJV senior staff. â¿¢ These arrangements should be established with clear understanding by the hosting entity and the employee that the positions are secure to the extent that funding is sustained. â¿¢ The IWJV should work with multiple entities to host existing staff positions as employees, and any new positions established with funding secured and approved by the Management Board. It was also recommended that the IWJV balance consistency for management purposes (e.g., one new hosting entity) with diversity (e.g., >one new hosting entity) due the benefits that might be accrued from working with specific entities on mutually beneficial positions.
