The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) invites applications

Coordinator to the Board of Regents. This is a renewable,
full-time, non-tenured, administrative position that reports to the
Chief of Staff to the Board of Regents. The position is located in
Reno, Nevada.
The Special Assistant & Coordinator to the Board of Regents is
responsible for providing proactive, analytical, specialized, and
executive-level administrative support to the Board of Regents and
its individual members. The Special Assistant & Coordinator to the
Board of Regents is viewed as a representative and extension of the
Board of Regents by the greater NSHE community and the public
at-large; therefore, the highest level of performance and
professionalism is needed.
Reporting directly to the Chief of Staff to the Board of Regents
and providing support to the same, this position serves as a
confidential representative and liaison between the Board Office
and senior management including the chancellor and cabinet members,
legal counsel, institution presidents, campus administrators,

Assistant & Coordinator to the Board of Regents is responsible for
managing the priorities of preparing meeting agendas, meeting

Board meetings, providing direct assistance to individual Regents,
and other duties as assigned. The Special Assistant & Coordinator
to the Board of Regents manages a high volume of work material and

and resolve problems, often without direct involvement by senior
management.
It is critical for the Special Assistant & Coordinator to the Board
of Regents to know and understand the legal requirements of an
