Position Overview:

The Executive Assistant (EA) is a highly responsible position.  The EA provides administrative and secretarial services to relieve the Executive Director (ED) of daily administrative details so they can concentrate on the significant aspects of their position.  The EA works primarily with the Executive Director.  However, they also provide scheduling and travel support for the Deputy Director (DD).  The Executive Assistant provides the necessary leadership skills to work effectively with management, staff, members, unions, employers, and board trustees.
