SJN Establishes Emeritus Board

I am pleased to share a recent decision of the SJN Board of Directors to establish an SJN Emeritus Board to honor the service of past board members of our organization. As a local, grassroots nonprofit, our volunteer board has been and remains the lynchpin of our success.

We are pleased to recognize each of the Board members in our organization's history through membership in our Emeritus Board. They are:

Maria Wojtczak
Jim O’Hara
Steve Wild
Patrick Hanley
Doug Bruhnke


Congratulations! and thank you again for your service.
From time to time, vacancies occur on the board. To be considered, send a letter of interest with a resume to the SJN Nominating Committee at info@scottsdalejobnet.com
Thank you,
Christine Vicari
Founder-Executive Director
