SILVER is looking for an experienced project manager

The Silver team is looking for an experienced project manager from one of our member companies.  We would like someone from outside the WCAG3 project, because we don't want to lose any of our members to the job.  Please check within your organization and see if there is someone experienced in project management who would be interested in helping us and would have permission and support of your management.  We are expanding the request we sent several months ago to all members of Silver and AGWG. We will reach out to those who expressed interest in the prior request to determine if interest remains.

The AGWG Chairs and Silver Task Force leaders have generated a set of requirements that we anticipate will be needed.  Please note that Chairs and Task Force Leaders anticipate participating and assisting in the execution of these requirements:
