Iwo Jima Association of America seeks volunteer Communications Director

The Iwo Jima Association of America (IJAA) is searching for a new Communications Director. This position is especially important as we begin preparations for the large 75th Anniversary of the Iwo Jima landing in 2020. This is an ideal position for a retired, or semi-retired, Marine Corps Combat Correspondent that resides in the Northern Virginia area to facilitate interface with the IJAA office in Woodbridge, VA.

IJAA is a non profit 501(c)(3) association whose primary fund raising go toward financially assisting veterans who cannot afford to return to Iwo Jima on the annual Reunion of Honor (RoH) tour each March. Consequently, the Director of Communications is not a paid position. The “compensation” is the satisfaction of assisting veterans, as well as having all your expenses paid, as approved by the leadership, to include Guam and Iwo Jima each year and the annual February reunion in CONUS.

The major responsibility of the Director is the preparation and publishing of the IJAA news letter, “The Black Sands” as well as the preparation, publishing and distribution of the annual “Pictorial” of the RoH on Guam and Iwo Jima.

If you are interested, please send a short resume setting forth your communication skills and experience to Art Sifuentes at: RSifuentes@IwoJimaAssociation.org.

Please be reminded, this is not a paid position.
