FW: join the MBLC team!

[Backman, Heather (BLC)]

Hello everyone,

 

The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners is looking for our next Head of Library Advisory and Development/Government Liaison! Folks at the MBLC are not only smart, knowledgeable, and experienced, but also kind and truly supportive. The head of our agency has managed to lead us forward with energy and enthusiasm despite all of the challenges of the last year, and understands the value of the people who work here. I think it’s a great workplace and a wonderful team - with good work-life balance to boot!

 

The job announcement with a link to more details is in the forwarded email below. If your background, interests, and values match the position and our agency, please consider applying; and please feel free to forward to someone you know who you think may be a good fit.

 

Best,

Heather
