Hey all 👋 I know I stick to talking about tech, so this post will be a bit different.
I've been a long-time supporter of API Chaya, a Seattle-based non-profit serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
API Chaya is looking for their next Executive Director! The role is based in Seattle, WA, US.
I'd appreciate any boosts or shares and all referrals.
