As this has become the way that NW Chapter members can communicate, I think that we will follow the same conventions that we did with the NW listserv. In other words, my opinion (as NW chapter communications officer), you can post it here. Or, if it’s easier, you can post a short message linking to the job posting on the ECUAD web…[Read more]
