Board of Directors (bios below): â??The advent of a Board,â?? Pautke 
explains, â??converts JSFG from a volunteer-led organization to one with a 
governing body. This Board will take the organization to new heights of 
support and services.â?? Board goals include: 
   - Providing continuity of leadership - continuity that is difficult to 
achieve with frequent turnover of volunteer leaders (they graduate to 
employment),
   - Increasing revenue to provide more services, support and opportunities 
(today the organization is totally funded by the unemployed!)
   - Increasing employer awareness of services and employable talent that 
JSFG has to offer, and gaining their (employers) support. 
  
The Job Search Focus Group (JSFG) is the only open membership organization 
in the region who meets weekly to serve those in career transition. It draws 
members from Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky and Eastern 
Indiana. More then 10,000 individuals have participated in JSFG since its 
1992 beginning.
  
Each Monday at 9:00am JSFG meetings offer: professional guest speakers, 
networking opportunities, support, etc. to promote each individualâ??s 
forward momentum. Workshops such as resume writing, communications skills, 
interviewing tips and techniques, franchise and entrepreneur options, etc. 
are offered at various times during the week. 
Additionally JSFGers have the opportunity to post profiles of their skills 
and experiences to the JSFG website. Alerts are sent to regional employers 
advising of their availability for on-line access 
(http://jsfg.com/profiles.htm). 
  
JSFG is a non-denominational employment network, hosted by the Hyde Park 
Community United Methodist Church (HPCUMC). â??Formed in 1992 as an outreach 
ministry,â?? says Dave Weaver HPCUMC Community Service and Outreach Pastor, 
â??the group has admirably served the needs of the unemployed. We are 
pleased to be able to offer our support as needed, and take pride in 
JSFGâ??s 17-year record of helping thousands.â??
