The American Forest & Paper Association is looking to add a PAC and Grassroots Coordinator. Tasks appear to include database management, writing, research and some degree of administrative support.

Golin Harris, an Arlington-based PR firm, is looking for a Vice President candidate for work on a military-based account. Fun fact: GH won an award for their work helping to launch the Nintendo Wii - perhaps the military-based account involves work on weaponizing the Wii?

Wanted by the US Marshals Service: a Public Affairs Specialist. Emphasis on photo/video skills as well as working with the media required. Apply by Oct. 21.

The next Communications Manager (note: pdf link) for the American Academy of Physician Assistants will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks including media relations, writing assignments, events support - the usual gamut of communications activities. They are located in always-pleasant Old Town, Alexandria.

"The primary function of the Public and Corporate Relations Associate will be to assist the PCR Director & Manager with membership and fundraising initiatives." For this and more, the folks at the Alliance to Save Energy are offering a salary in the "lower to mid $30’s."

Rosetta Stone seeks Director, Website Strategy "to lead the Web teams on a global mission to make RosettaStone.com the premier destination for anyone around the world seeking a truly effective, innovative language-learning experience." Dieses alles klingt wie zu viel, damit ich behandele, aber Sie sollten definitiv zutreffen.*

Today's job-search resource is communicationsjobs.net. The good news : they show 130+ DC-area job listings. The downside: you have to register to view them (I suspect this will be a recurring theme).
