Subject: Cleveland Public Theatre seeks assistance

John Devlin,
After ten years of amazing service CPT's Development Director Judith Ross is retiring.
We really need help finding a great person to take the reins. I imagine the best candidate will probably be an up-and-coming Development Associate or Manager who might make a move to a smaller or similar sized organization in order to take on a leadership role.
Below is a job description.
I would be very grateful for any help you can provide in getting the word out or recommending good candidates.
Thank you so much,
Raymond Bobgan
Executive Artistic Director
(216) 631-2727 x202
