Who can participate?
There are many ways to participate in the literary arts center. Merely through buying a book you are helping our programs move in a positive direction. More to the question however, Amicus is focused firstly on those who live in the Yuba Sutter Area (Marysville, Yuba City, and surrounding communities) and who have an interest in writing at some level. Whether you are an author, an aspiring author, a poet, a journaler, a journalist, a genealogist, or simply curious and have always wanted to write something, anything, for any reason, we can help each other build a strong literary community.
The survey will be distributed to all employees of departments and agencies within the core public administration and those in participating separate agencies (see below for complete list). If employees have recently moved or taken an assignment in a new organization, their responses should reflect their work environment in that new organization. Participants include full- and part-time indeterminate, term, seasonal and casual employees, students and Governor in Council appointees. It does NOT include ministers exempt staff, private sector contractors or consultants, and employees on maternity or paternity leave, or leave without pay. Participants in the Interchange Canada program who are on assignment in the federal Public Service can fill out the survey, whereas Interchange participants who are on assignment in the private or not-for-profit sectors, or with another level of government will not complete it.
