JTA Job Opportunity-Director of Strategic Planning

[cline]

So I saw this opening on the JTA website recently.  Looks as though they are looking for a new Director of Planning.  Since there are some strong opinions on this board regarding JTA, perhaps there are some here who would want to apply.

If you read through the qualifications, they aren't looking for a planner. They are looking for an MBA with public administration and budgeting experience.

Well the person that last held this position was a planner, so I would think they would want someone with some planning experience.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree with major course work in Public Administration, Business Administration, Accounting, Finance or related field and ten (10) years progressively responsible governmental administrative and supervisory experience; or any equivalent combination of related training and experience.

Planning and Public Administration are considered "related fields"....in fact FSU has a joint M.S.P./M.P.A. degree prgram.
