EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION
Washington, DC June 15, 2015

The International Communication Association (ICA) seeks an experienced 
and resourceful leader to partner with the executive committee, the 
board of directors, and its members in its next phase of development. 
The International Communication Association is an academic association 
for scholars interested in the study, teaching and application of all 
aspects of human and mediated communication. It began more than 60 years 
ago as a small organization of U.S. researchers and now is truly 
international with more than 4500 members in over 80 countries. Since 
2003, ICA has been officially associated with the United Nations as a 
non-governmental organization (NGO). More information can be obtained 
from the ICA website at http://www.icahdq.org/about_ica/index.asp.

The executive director oversees and facilitates the core activities of 
ICA, including a vibrant and innovative publishing program, a complex 
annual conference and bi-annual regional conferences, and divisional 
priorities and activities. The executive director develops and maintains 
key business and community partnerships/sponsorships, enhances financial 
sustainability, guides strategic growth, and helps shape policy that 
fosters high-quality research and dissemination of that research. The 
position, based in Washington, DC, oversees a staff of five and an 
annual budget of approximately $2,000,000 USD. Domestic and 
international travel is required.

The ideal candidate will preferably have at least five successful years 
as an executive or senior manager at an academically oriented nonprofit 
organization of similar budget size with experience negotiating, 
planning and implementing large conferences. Highly relevant and 
equivalent experience will also be considered. The salary for the 
position will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience and 
qualifications. Compensation includes a comprehensive employee benefits 
package, including a generous retirement plan.

Applicants should send their resumes and cover letters describing their 
interest in ICA, their qualifications and how their professional 
experience addresses the qualifications required to 
(ICAedsearch /at/ icahdq.org). Review of the applications will begin 
immediately and continue until a successful candidate is identified. 
Resumes without cover letters will not be considered. Desired start date 
is January 2016. ICA will maintain the confidentiality of the candidates 
until the finalists are selected.

The International Communication Association is an equal opportunity 
employer. Qualified applicants are considered for employment without 
regard to age, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, sexual 
orientation, gender identity or expression, disability or veteran status.
