Beale Aero Club are looking for a new manager

Posted on by

The Beale Aero Club Manager position has been posted on NAFJOBS.org. The club manager will continue over the next few months to help the new manager if needed.

The position is about 20-25 hours a week and would be excellent for a retiree or someone not looking to work full time. The major thing is the ability to be able to separate the desire to fly from running the business. This position is a manager… budgets, scheduling, and working with others.

If you are interested or know someone that is, please apply online.
