Showmens League seeking new executive director
The Showmen's League of America is seeking a new executive director.
Joe Burum, the former director, has resigned after six years to pursue other business opportunities, according to Paul Kasin, the group's president. Burum's final day on the job was April 10.
For the SLA, a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, qualified candidates must have strong management skills with the ability to market the organization at industry trade shows in Gibsonton, Fla., Las Vegas and the annual IAAPA convention. "We're trying to find new ways to raise money and create member benefits," Kasin said. "It's important for the future of the club."
Carnival industry experience is a plus but not required for the position. The job application indicates flexibility is key trait for the position. It reads, "Must be ... equally at home, both at a black-tie party and 'jackpotting' on the midway," A college education is preferred and the salary is commensurate with experience, Kasin said.
All inquiries should be directed to to the Showmen's League home office at 1023 W. Fulton Market, Chicago, Ill. 60607, or email Paul Kasin at Kasin3435@comcast.net.
