SABEW seeks an executive director

The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW), the world’s largest association of financial journalists, seeks an executive director who has nonprofit management experience and an appreciation of business journalism.

The ideal candidate will be capable of helping the organization think strategically and ambitiously about its future, while also effectively managing day-to-day operations.
