CIVILIAN FORCE 1984-2010

Due to lower budgets, the Board dramatically reduced its civilian work force from 87 civilians in 1987 to 6 civilians in 2009. The lack of civilian personnel degrades institutional memory and program continuity.

The administration has reduced expenses and personnel costs to minimal levels and further reductions may compromise the organization’s ability to perform its mission.
