All right.
Now, my only concern is the issue of “employing the services of” as the wording, because we do not have time to establish contracts or re-establish those contracts with these people. The words “employing the services of” implies, of course, that they are hired. They will not be hired by the time that you expect they would appear, I would think.
So I would ask a friendly amendment from the chair that you utilize an alternative word to “employing”, such as “utilizing”, or some other word that does not give the implication that they are employees.
