ASM seeks director of communications & marketing - respond by April 30

The point of building new offices for ASM is in part to give us our own dedicated space - which we have never had - but also to give us room to expand our staff to better serve ASM members. With our new space nearing completion, we are announcing an opening for the new staff position, director of communications and marketing, who will oversee the writing and editing of the news publications and promotional materials we produce throughout the year, and wear a number of other "hats" as well.

Responses are due by April 30, and the position is available in June.
