The incumbent represents the program at professional meetings and conducts site visits to promote the grant opportunity and to evaluate the accomplishments of current projects. The ideal candidate will meet the following criteria: (1) An M.A. or Ph.D. in the humanities (Ph.D. preferred); (2) Broad understanding of institutional issues and trends in the humanities, including issues surrounding the use of digital technology in humanities research, teaching, or public programming; (3) Familiarity and experience with grant-making and fund-raising for the humanities and with trends in philanthropy; (4) Demonstration of critical acumen in evaluating plans and proposals in all fields of the humanities; administrative experience in the humanities, especially in higher education, including experience with institutional development and strategic planning for the humanities; and (5) Excellent speaking and writing ability for professional and public audiences, as demonstrated by recent (within the last 3-5 years) presentations at professional meetings or other public gatherings or by written reports, articles, or other documents.

As the world economy slows down, the transformational challenges and opportunities presented by greentech are once more in flux.We look forward to discussing these issues at this year's conference and beyond.

The Wednesday Job Group ..http://groups.google.com/group/Wednesdayjobgroup?hl=en&pli=1 On a Wednesday in 2001, I ran a networking group of high technology professionals in a small meeting space. The group grew as the recession deepened. In search of a solution, I started an email group of high technology professionals, independent consultants, and executives working in Silicon Valley (and beyond) began. It grew really big and spawned baby groups all over the Bay Area who meet sometimes as the mood strikes them. And it has expanded to include a blogsite www.wednesdaynetwork.com and a linkedin.com group as well.Welcome to some of the best-targeted high-tech connections in the USA, and a great bunch of people!

A creature rose up out of the surf and came ashore. Its garments were made of green sea lettuce. "I am the friendly Witch of the Sand," she said, "I am only going to sunbathe."
The sun was terribly hot and her skin began to bake. It turned as red as a ripe tomato! Have you ever seen ... a baking lettuce and tomato Sand Witch? |
