Hey all,

Sharing this opportunity. I've worked quite a bit with this group and there is a lot of opportunity in this position (and a lot of people will appreciate the work done by this person!). Right now the position is part time and does require some on site commitment in Geneseo NY (a hybrid schedule would be considered). I'm happy to answer any questions.
