I found a news release dated January 2006, telling of a new director's appointment, that may negate the previous job posting which did not have a date on it. I apologize if I've misled anyone--but, I'm still not 100% certain if this position is open or not. Would advise, if you are interested, to check directly with NAPWA.

That's the only date I noticed on the original post.

If someone was appointed in Jan. '06, they didn't stick around long...
