Four Immediate Openings at HP Education Fanon, Inc.

1. HPEF, the organization who brought you Nimbus 
2003, is in need of a designer for our website, and
we'd like him or her to be one of our talented
supporters. If you're interested, please send an email
to designer @ hpeducationfanon.org (no spaces). 

Include (as an attachment) an 800x600 JPG image of a
mock-up of what you think our front page should look
like. Candidates should ideally have an extensive
knowledge of HTML, CSS and accessible design (see
http://www.webstandards.org), and of course a deep and
abiding love for Harry Potter. Membership in an
internet standards organization (such as IETF, W3C,
etc.) is a definite plus, but not required. Please
include any other relevant qualifications with your
submission, as well as anything else you think we
should know about you. 

We're looking for a design that integrates the themes
and goals of our organization to: (i) foster study,
appreciation, interpretation, discussion and debate of
the Harry Potter novels; (ii) select sites and provide
oversight and management of the planning of annual or
periodic symposia for fans and scholars of the Harry
Potter novels; (iii) educate the public about the
benefits of reading. A removable logo design and a
layout that captures the fun of the books and movies
(illustrations and themes) is also a possibility. The
look is up to you, but open books and libraries
are two of the concepts we would like to see
incorporated. The designer we choose will become part
of the HPEF corporate team, spearhead our design, help
integrate individual event pages, and be on hand to
manage other changes/developments at HPEF. Submissions
are due by May 31. Thank you in advance for your
interest, and we're looking forward to seeing your
concepts! 


2. In addition, HPEFs second event, The Witching
Hour, seeks a volunteer with SQL and PHP expertise to
help manage their web needs. If you are qualified and
have approximately two to four hours a week to spend,
please contact The Witching Hour as soon as possible
via web @ witchinghour.org (no spaces). 


3. Finally, HPEF, Inc., once again finds itself in
need of both a treasurer and an independent
accountant. 

For the position of Treasurer, HPEF seeks an
accountant (preferred) or an individual with extensive
experience in bookkeeping and familiarity with
financial statements, Quickbooks and MS Excel.  The
Treasurer will be responsible for making bank
deposits, writing checks, keeping the corporate
checkbook via Quickbooks and coordinating records and
funds with the event treasurer of each of HPEF's
active planning committees.  The Treasurer will also
work with HPEF's independent accountant and its tax
counsel as necessary.  The Treasurer attends quarterly
(and special) meetings of the HPEF Board of Directors
and must prepare a quarterly report for the Board, and
work with tax counsel to prepare annual returns. 
Interested applicants should submit a resume outlining
their experience and interest to treasurer @
hpeducationfanon.org (no spaces).

The Accountant applicant will ideally be a CPA or else
must have at least two years' accounting experience,
familiarity with GAAP regulations, and be able to
produce comprehensive financial reports. Experience in
financial planning is a plus. The Accountant will work
with the Treasurer and the Tax Counsel to review
periodic financial statements and annual returns.  The
Accountant will be required to prepare and certify
audited financial statements for HPEF in the near
future.  If you're interested, please submit a resume
outlining your experience, qualifications and interest
to us as soon as possible at treasurer @
hpeducationfanon.org (no spaces)

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who might
be interested.
