<![CDATA[I need a part time assistant (inspirational , innovative, and potentially a Divine model) for three books to be written and a class to be taught: Dazzling God and World: The Divine Woman. 2nd The Divine Man, and 3 The Divine Couple. The assistant must be trained which I will do,in the order of the books to be written: Single unattached woman, Single unattached man and lastly a couple. Skills that will be helpfull are good reading, and writing skills, along with a mind set of compassion, joy , love , peace, self control, contrition, humility, and gratitude. A person should also have as the Greeks would say a high degree of ethos,(good character) pathos,(physical and emotional appeal) Logos,( good communication skills) and Pneuma (Spirit/Soul potential awareness)which I can perfect in an individual if the basics are there. So once the model has progressed enough, then her and I can start writing about the way to become a Godly woman, and to help others to accomplish the same. The rewards are high, some royalties on the book when it is published and $12.00 to $15.00 an hour.( about 25 hours per week) till that happens. All of this could take years , so a long term commitment is desired. Other possible perks such as fee rent single condo, health and dental insurance, free vacation travel, and free menbershiip in L. A. Fitness gym. The hard part, in most cases is that one must have very few attachments,and distractions, practically none. Part time work or college could work, but to have full time job will not work. If I have dazzeled you, please dazzle me with your personal, educational , and work resumes. Also a picture as it gives life to the resume,Bilingual (Spanish/English) great but not essential. I have a full time business of property management and Church obiligations, so I don't have much time for interviews, so please be as complete as possible. Upon request I will furnish you with many references. Thanks you for your interest, Bill ]]>

<![CDATA[Manager, Knowledge Management and Technology Systems THE BROAD CENTER FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOL SYSTEMS BACKGROUND The mission of The Broad Center for the Management of School Systems (www.broadcenter.org) is to raise student achievement by recruiting, training and supporting executive leadership talent from across America to become the next generation of urban school district leaders. The Center identifies talented leaders from education, business, the military, nonprofit organizations and government who have the passion, knowledge and skills to take on executive leadership roles in urban education. The Broad Center operates two primary leadership development programs: The Broad Superintendents Academy and The Broad Residency in Urban Education. The Broad Center is a flagship initiative of and fully funded by The Broad Foundation (www.broadfoundation.org). Created in 2002, The Broad Superintendents Academy is a rigorous, ten-month executive training program designed to prepare the next generation of public school superintendents. The nine classes of Broad Academy Fellows to date have included leaders from business, education, government, the military and nonprofit organizations. Participants in the program retain their full-time employment status and attend the Academy for six extended weekend sessions. The residential learning session faculty is composed of leading education practitioners. Between sessions, participants are expected to undertake a series of rigorous individual skill-building activities and performance projects to build their leadership portfolios. Created in 2003, The Broad Residency is an intensive two-year management development program offered to talented early- and mid-career professionals from the private and non-profit sectors. The purpose of the program is to provide an entry point for developing leaders who are not currently working in public education to train and prepare for senior positions in urban school systems throughout the country. Residents are placed directly in a large urban school district working for the Superintendent or one of his or her cabinet-level administrators. Over the course of the two years, Residents meet together for eight professional development sessions for rigorous study and skill-building activities. When the program ends, Residents are well prepared to assume leadership posts in public school systems. Building and maintaining a strong network of TBC-trained leaders from both programs exponentially increases the already significant impact of our individual alumni. By building connections among network members, facilitating the exchange of information and best practices, and galvanizing the political power of the TBC network, we can accelerate the diffusion of innovation, mobilize people for policy change, and ultimately achieve The Broad Center’s goal of raising achievement for all students.

In the wake of the economic crisis, budget cuts, and a higher demand for our services, our work is now more important than ever.

<![CDATA[Volunteer Position Description UNICEF Tap Project City Coordinator U.S. Fund for UNICEF Clean and plentiful drinking water is a daily privilege, millions take for granted. Yet the lack of clean and accessible drinking water is the second largest killer worldwide of children under five. As the world’s leading children’s organization, saving more lives than any other humanitarian organization, UNICEF understands the critical role water plays in a child’s survival. To raise awareness about this critical issue, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) launched the UNICEF Tap Project, a nationwide effort in which diners are asked to donate $1 for the tap water they usually enjoy for free ($1 can provide one child with safe drinking water for 40 days). Growing from a call to action in just New York City in 2007 to a nation-wide program with thousands of participating restaurants and volunteers today, the UNICEF Tap Project has literally saved millions of lives. In 2011, the UNICEF Tap Project will continue to expand its volunteer opportunities to engage, educate and fundraise on behalf of the world water crisis. The UNICEF Tap Project will occur during World Water Week, from March 20 - 26, 2011.
