Director of Programs
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The headings we have: About Dedham Community House (maybe "About the organization"? but we can use "About Dedham Community House" as heading). Position Summary could be under "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. We have:
- About Dedham Community House -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About Dedham Community House". We could still use heading "About Dedham Community House". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not strict list; we can use other headings as needed. Probably okay to use "About Dedham Community House". But to be safe, we could use "About the role" heading and put the description of DCH there? However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid other headings. I'd keep "About Dedham Community House" as heading.
- Position Summary: could be under "About the role" or we could make a separate section "Position Summary". The examples didn't list Position Summary but we can still use heading. Probably okay.
- Responsibilities: we have "Key Responsibilities:" with subpoints. We'll make a Responsibilities

We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail.
