We're back to regular operation at your favorite™ public affairs & communications jobs resource – except that we're skipping the usual Tuesday specialty programming.

Composite Panel Association – Vice President, Policy & Communications – Leesburg/Landsdowne, Va.

Save the Bay! For future generations to enjoy and, more importantly, for the current needs of the crab-and-oyster enthusiast DCPA+CJ staff – Chesapeake Bay Foundation – Federal Affairs Manager – apply by July 18

• Manager, Independent Foundation Services

Federation for American Immigration Reform – Media Relations Professional

Special Olympics of Virginia – Development Director – $40k-$60k – Fairfax-based – apply by July 16

Be a part of DHS’ National Protection and Programs Directorate – that sounds like a pretty cool proposition, especially if that’s some sort of STASI-like state internal security apparatus with near-unlimited powers. Let the record show that the DCPA+CJ crew would like to stay the Directorate’s good graces, up to and including collaboration, naming names, denunciations at show trials and all that sort of stuff – Program Analyst (probably euphemism for assassin or bag man) – $74k-$136k – job ID: FS-359481-SW10 – apply by July 12

Urban Institute:

• Chief Development Officer
• Project Administrator

America’s Health Insurance Plans – Manager, Media Relations

National Strategies Group – ideal candidate for Director, State Legislative & Government Affairs should have a strong understanding of consulting services to provide superior value to customers in a way that helps governments solve their most pressing problems in new and innovative ways. We suspect this is probably a front group for the National Protection and Programs Directorate not-so-secret-police cadre referenced above.

• Executive Assistant to EVP for Program Development – low-mid $50k
• Admin Assistant – part-time – supporting the Schroeder Institute

We suspect that if you’re tapped as the next Manager, Foundation Partnerships for the National Business Travel Association, you’ll jet off to some sort of deeply-discounted tropical or Euro getaway for next year’s 4th of July extended weekend – or maybe you’ll just use miles you’ve accumulated on the company schedule.
