As the federal government mindlessly sheds a great deal of talent, I would encourage any displaced workers with skillsets that might translate well to local government to consider some upcoming openings we will be filling in Iowa: - Boone City Administrator - Clear Lake City Administrator - Slater City Administrator - Stuart Public Works Director For these openings, we will be looking for a strong academic foundation, supervisory experience, and personnel and financial acumen. City administration offers the opportunity to make a big difference in a community and tremendous variety and challenges every day. Compensation is very competitive and continues to rise above the rate of inflation on average year-over-year due to high demand and low supply of qualified candidates. Typical benefits would include excellent health insurance and participation in the IPERS public pension system or an equivalent contribution to a 457 defined contribution plan. Please reach out on LinkedIn or at [email protected] to discuss further. Sincerely, Brent Hinson Hinson Consulting, LLC
