We will review applications on a rolling basis, as they come in and until we find the right candidate; while we would like to notify everyone that we have received their resume and whether they are moving forward in the process, we are a small team and simply not able to do that. If selected to move forward you will be invited to interview with the Executive Director and our Development Consultant.
