We are seeking an energetic person for 10+ hours a month (more for special event planning such as Architecture Week and Design Awards). Please see the attached document for job description and necessary skills. In order to maximize training time, we request that resumes and letters of interest be emailed to the chapter no later than Wednesday, February 1st by end of day.
