- Very good communication skills, as well as flexibility and adaptability;
- Ability to work in a team environment, especially as part of the Education and Training committee;

Applications
Any eligible member may apply for this position. However, for various operational reasons, it is desirable (though not necessarily essential) that the Education Coordinator lives within commuting distance of the national headquarters or is prepared to move to this location.
