Associate Director of Program

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real specific content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position title: Associate Director of Program, Health Programming (not used as heading) - Classification: Full-Time, Exempt - Location: Flexible – at any SONY office - Compensation: $65,000 - $70 - $70,000 (actually $65,000 - $70,000) - Reports to: Senior Director of Program, Health Programming - In Person/Remote Status: In-Person required 4 days a week minimum. - About Special Olympics New York (description) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About Special Olympics New York" is organization description. Could be placed under "About the role"? Usually "About the role" is description of role, but we have "About Special Olympics New York". We could treat that as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include "About the role" heading and put the description of the organization and role there. But we must not emit heading with filler. We have substantive content: description of Special Olympics New York. So we can put that under About the role. - Education/Experience Requirement: Bachelor's degree etc. That's qualifications/requirements. Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We need to decide. Usually "Requirements" includes education/experience. "Qualifications" maybe skills. We'll put education/experience under "Requirements". Also "MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:" is skills. Could be under "Skills". Also "JOB SUMMARY:" could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we have "ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" which is responsibilities. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted unless we have a specific heading like "Physical Demands" not in list. Since we only allowed those headings, we might incorporate physical demands into Responsibilities or maybe omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit physical demands, we lose info. We could include it under Responsibilities as a bullet? Or maybe under "Requirements"? Not ideal. Could create a "Responsibilities" section and include physical demands as a bullet there. That seems okay. - WORK HOURS: regular business hours, travel assignments, weekend/evening duties. That could be under "Schedule". So we can create Schedule section with that info. - Compensation: we have Pay section: $65,000 - $70,000. - Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. - Skills: we have MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES list. That's skills. - Qualifications: maybe we could have Qualifications separate from Requirements? But we have education/experience requirement; could be under Qualifications. However we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine education/experience and knowledge/skills into Requirements and Skills respectively. Let's follow: Requirements = education/experience. Skills = knowledge, skills, abilities. Qualifications maybe not needed. But we have "JOB SUMMARY" which could be part of About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading for Associate Director. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

We must not include Benefits section because no specific content. Check we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. We removed boilerplate like EEO etc. We preserved all substantive info: classification, location, compensation, reports to (maybe we omitted reports to). Actually we omitted "REPORTS TO: Senior Director of Program, Health Programming". That's substantive. Should we include it? It could go under About the role or Responsibilities. Perhaps include in About the role paragraph. Let's add a sentence: "Reports to the Senior Director of Program, Health Programming." We'll incorporate. Also classification: Full-Time, Exempt. We included in Schedule as bullet. Good. Location: Flexible – at any SONY office. Included. We also need to include "In Person/Remote Status: In-Person required 4 days a week minimum." Already in Schedule. We also need to include "About Special Olympics New York" description. Already. We also need to include "JOB SUMMARY" content. We included in About the role paragraph. We also need to include "Inclusion, Unified Sports and the Unified Champion School programming are present and prioritized..." That's a substantive line about inclusion. We missed that. It appears near the end after "Ensure the regions and the state are in compliance...". Actually there is a paragraph: "Inclusion, Unified Sports and the Unified Champion School programming are present and prioritized in the foundation of our core elemental movement, found embedded in our seasonal and annual calendar, and activity. All program staff members hold responsibilities collaterally and fundamentally for inclusive mission and the Unified programming Management: Functional team leadership and management of Program Specialists, administrative supports and key volunteers as organizational deployment permits. Support and oversee appropriate program related systems, including the delegation of authority and shared responsibilities to achieve organizational goals. Provide functional organization wide leadership, mentoring and support to regional and statewide program colleagues, consistent with program standards and strategy, in support of the Senior Director of Program, Health Programming. Maintain working relationships with clinical leaders, volunteers, committees, sponsors, organizations and other related national, state, county and local associations, affiliates and groups." We captured some of that in responsibilities but missed the explicit inclusion statement. Let's add a bullet under Responsibilities about inclusion and Unified Sports. Add bullet: "Ensure inclusion, Unified Sports and Unified Champion School programming are prioritized and embedded in the seasonal and annual calendar and activities." Also we have "All program staff members hold responsibilities collaterally and fundamentally for inclusive mission and the Unified programming Management: Functional team leadership and management of Program Specialists, administrative supports and key volunteers as organizational deployment permits." That's covered by leadership bullet. We also have "Support and oversee appropriate program related systems, including the delegation of authority and shared responsibilities to achieve organizational goals." Already maybe covered. We also have "Provide functional organization wide leadership, mentoring and support to regional and statewide program colleagues, consistent with program standards and strategy, in support of the Senior Director of Program, Health Programming." Already have leadership bullet. We also have "Maintain working relationships with clinical leaders, volunteers, committees, sponsors, organizations and other related national, state, county and local associations, affiliates and groups
