Subject: Job opening at WSBA- encourage applicants please

Greetings:

I apologize if any of you receive this more than once.  I manage four
staff here including the support staff to the young lawyers division.
Our  WSBA Young Lawyer Division Liaison Jenny Resendez received a call
back a year after applying for the Gates Foundation, and we understand
her taking this rare and sought after opportunity. 

The WYLD Liaison position is a very meaningful job with great exposure
for a young professional (including law school graduates or new
attorneys who want to try some nonprofit work).  The pay is comparable
to some starting attorney positions and the benefits are excellent.  Or
if you know of any other qualified friends or family or people in your
network who are looking for work, please encourage them to apply.

Please feel free to forward the attached job announcement that posted
today.  

Thanks for your help!
