Subject: [HistoricWashington] Jobs: Director, Office Manager for National Association for Olmsted Parks
Please see the information below about the NAOP's search for a Director and an Office Manager for their Washington, D.C. HQs office. The NAOP has been crucial in many issues concerning parks designed by the Olmsted firm in Washington, and there are a whole lot of them, from the Capitol grounds to parts of the mall, the National Cathedral grounds, McMillan Park and the entire Fort Circle Parks sequence, etc. They've been without a director for some time and this is refreshing
news that they're seeking one, the first since Iris Gestram left that office a couple years ago.
