11/07/2008 - Job Postings
Attention MRPA Members and visitors:
The job posting function of the MRPA website is currently not working. Renewed and improved functionality will be restored with the launch of our new and improved website. As of right now, the timeline to launch the new website is sometime after the first of the year, but before our annual conference. In the meantime, if you would like your job postings to be distributed to MRPA members (at no charge), please e-mail them to Miranda at mscripter@mrpaonline.org. Thank you for your patience and support!
