RE:	Managing Human Resources Seminar

Dear Presiding Judge Johnson:

I want to thank you again for approving my travel request so that I could attend the Managing Human Resources Seminar sponsored by the National Center for State Courts/Institute for Court Management in San Francisco last week. Although it has been five years since I have attended an ICM seminar, I am glad to say that ICM still puts on a high quality, no nonsense seminar.

In addition to hearing some of the latest updates on employment law, the seminar provided an excellent introspection into one's personal philosophy and management style. Sometimes you do something so long that you think you have mastered it and you realize with introspection that you have just become lazy.

Again, I want to thank you for approving so much of the state's and Court's resources to my continuing education. I assure you, I shall make it a wise investment. Thank you again for the support and confidence.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk
