[Sigia-l] Information Architect position, North Carolina

[Kim Ashley]

FYI, this Information Architect position at Blue Cross Blue Shield of
North Carolina is located in the Durham/Chapel Hill area.  I've been
acting in an IA role at BCBSNC for about a year, and there's been
enough support and demand for IA services that we've decided to hire
another - be prepared for me to pick your brain if you get hired! :^)
