Hello Friday!  We're happy to see you.

The T. Howard Foundation, a Silver Spring-based organization dedicated to advancing diversity in media, is actively recruiting for:
We noted Hattaway Communications’ Digital Associate opportunity in Tuesday’s digital/social special edition; and we’ve since learned that they are still actively seeking candidates for Research Associate (pdf) and Designer (pdf) posts as well; Mac-based operating environment 

American University
Hasn’t exactly been a stellar season around here, pro-football-wise (unless, you’re a hater of #HTTR, of course), but don’t let that dampen your enthusiasm for this surely super-coveted Government Affairs Lead post with the National Football League – and yes, we’ll be happy to take the upgrade to club seats for a nice Sept. or October tilt next year at FedEx for showing you this, thanks.

Brookings Institution Research Analyst supporting the Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy – strong grounding in statistics & economics is essential

Pew Charitable Trusts
Sound Transit, conveyor of Seattle commuters, tourists & other users of rail & bus (but not monorail), seeks Communications Project Manager for variety of public outreach duties – $68k-$85k – apply by Dec. 31

Fancy yourself as rival or heir-apparent to Sietsma or KlimanDining Editor for DC Metro Magazine (and DCMetroPlus.com) might start you on your way to fulfilling that fantasy.

Chicago-based opportunities with the American Medical Association include this Potomac Flacks-sourced Director, Leadership Communications post, as well as Communications Specialist.

We first noted this glam Vice President, Public Relations listing with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in early November, and, well, it’s still there. 

Best wishes for lovely & restorative weekend from your favoritepublic affairs jobs resource.
