I am writing to request your help.  Ella Sharp Museum is currently searching for a new president.  The job was posted in September's AVISO, AASLH newsletter and various local papers.  We received 13 applications, 4 were from candidates with no museum experience or education.

We have reposted the job listing, hoping to draw a larger pool of <qualified> candidates.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how else to get the word out?

TIA
