Not What You Think

No, it wasn't on account of March Madness, St. Patrick's Day shenanigans (although we did enjoy taking in the usual scattered St. Pat's late night singing & arguments wafting up from the streets in our 'hood late last night), or Metro-related challenges that we're late to the game (and not exactly bringing a robust set, at the start) on this sunny Friday morning.  We're just super super busy on a couple other fronts.  More to come today, we hope.

The College of American Pathologists has asked us to help lure you to Northfield, IL (northern Chicago ‘burbs) for this Director, Executive Operations post, making sure the CEO and CAP executive team  stay on track – project management, negotiation, strategic, and financial analysis skills will move your CV to the top of the stack.
