Educational Development Manager
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is seeking to hire an Educational Development Manager (EDM) to work at its headquarters operation in Champaign, Illinois. The EDM will be responsible for assisting with development of publications; writing technical articles; reviewing technical materials including books, articles, videos, and computer-based training materials; managing translation projects; answering technical questions via phone and email; writing CEU questions; managing various educational projects such as committee projects, surveys, BMP development, A-300 reviews, and publications revisions; and assisting in the development of educational projects and programs.
The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following:
• A Bachelor’s degree in arboriculture, forestry, horticulture, or a related field
• ISA Arborist Certification
• Two or more years of practical experience in arboriculture
• A fundamental understanding of adult education
• Strong communication skills, especially in technical writing
• The ability to use word-processing (MSWord), spreadsheet (MSExcel), PowerPoint, database applications, and the Internet
• The ability to interact with industry professionals and volunteers
• A strong service-oriented attitude
• The ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously
ISA is seeking to fill this position by July 2004. Interested parties should forward a resume, dossier, or C.V. directly to ISA at the following address:
International Society of Arboriculture
Attn: Sharon Lilly
P.O. Box 3129
Champaign, IL 61826-3129

First, I would like to say that this is an important position for the ISA to have. I mean, many of the complaints I hear stem from the fact that they don't have as close of a handle on the real world of arboriculture work that they should have. Someone researching new techniques and on the phone all the time with people in the field could really stay close to new developments and know at the same time what's prevalent.
Secondly, the quality of the products of the ISA would grow if someone in the office was writing technical documents and articles with that kind of knowledge and real world connection. This was a dimension that Tim Walsh brought to the National Arborist Association while he was there.
I think this would be a cool job if I didn't have grad school this fall. Aside from the fundamental understanding of adult education (which I'm working on), I'd like to think that I meet the basics of the job. At the very least, it would be a terrific learning experience for a couple of years. I think someone from AS should at least apply!
