CLS Strategies – Managing Associate – 4+ years of experience in public affairs corporate/crisis communications, strong writing skills & background in media relations desired; fluency in Spanish a plus

And, those same sentiments apply to the Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Dept., and this Public Safety Information Officer opportunity – $71k-$118k – apply by Dec. 18

National Park Foundation
