The Committee and its presidential sponsors, the Affiliation Governing Committee (AGC), are seeking an experienced individual to serve on a contract basis as the Director of Project Management (DPM) for these pilot initiatives and related affiliation work. The DPM will use standard and innovative project management practices to assist AISC implement the pilots on time, on budget, and in a way that achieves the Affiliation’s goals and purposes. Following the Implementation draft structure, the DPM will staff the AISC and also have an independent reporting line to the AGC.

- Demonstrated competence with appropriate software programs.
Personal Qualifications:
- Committed to project success, with demonstrated decisiveness in identifying priorities, making decisions, and resolving problems.
- Strong leadership, diplomatic, and motivational interpersonal skills to influence and spur change, and to facilitate and enhance performance in a cross-functional, team-centered environment.
