Before you fill out this application, we would like to inform you that the information you are being asked to provide is generally private. You are not required to answer the questions asked, but we may not be able to help you if you choose not to provide us with some information. You have the right to copies of information we have about you. The information that you provide may be shared with other staff members whose jobs require access to this information. The information will not be shared with those outside of the agency without a release of information from you.

We will also use the information to compile statistics, which do not identify individual persons.
