Greetings Native Network,

We are pleased to share the attached job announcement which will add a full-time program manager (in addition to Sarah) in the Institute’s Native American and Alaska Native Program. As you’ll see, significant responsibility for this position is teaming with Sarah, and Joan initially, to continue the implementation and management of the Native Dispute Resolution Network and Skills Exchange workshops.

This position, as with all U.S. Institute staff positions, is contingent on the U.S. Institute receiving its full Congressional appropriation for FY2010.

Please take a look, as well as circulate to those you think are a good match with position description/requirements and with the US Institute. The closing date for the position is August 15, 2009.

Thanks much.
Sarah and Joan
