Preferred Characteristics:

The successful candidate should be an intelligent, trustworthy, kind, fair, energetic, self-motivated, hard-working leader who enjoys confronting challenges and solving problems. He or she should like people and be an expert communicator—both orally and verbally. In addition to being deft in dealing with many different constituencies, the ADAA should be polite, discrete, tactful, courageous, persevering, and wise with a good sense of humor. He or she should be good at working with others and at inspiring them to collaborate with each other. The successful candidate will be a self-motivated, organized, talented manager able to work well under pressure, handle numerous tasks simultaneously, and meet deadlines. Talent as a counselor, experience in curriculum and faculty development, a background in assessment, and budgetary ability would all be a plus. Working in the evenings and on weekends will sometimes be required.
