We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like posted date, application deadline, share buttons, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: Executive Director at Pelham Art Center. - Reporting to Board of Directors. - Role description: dynamic, versatile, highly collaborative leader, chief public representative, charting course for future. - Provide strategic leadership, vision, strong financial stewardship, organizational direction across education, exhibitions, community engagement. - Foster inclusive environment. - Build upon reputation: expand audiences, strengthen community partnerships, develop innovative programming reflecting emerging artistic practices and evolving community needs. - Advance education initiatives, exhibitions, public programs, increase access for underserved populations while maintaining artistic excellence. - Connect with broad professional network throughout Tri-State area to recruit artists, teaching artists, curators, partners. - Primarily responsible for core development activities: corporate sponsorships, foundation and government grants, major donor cultivation, annual appeal, membership management. - Work with Board to plan and execute two signature fundraising events each year: spring gala and fall fundraising event. - Ensure long-term sustainability and growth. - Description of Pelham Art Center: non-profit educational and cultural institution, welcoming, accessible, vibrant space for all ages, provides opportunities to learn and enhance artistic skills, community core, welcomes diverse backgrounds, fosters connections, open exchange of ideas. Art accessible to everyone. Wide array of classes and workshops, outreach programs bring hands-on creative experiences to all ages, onsite and in partnership with schools, community centers, local organizations. Offerings include painting, ceramics, digital design, fashion illustration, animation, printmaking, etc., tailored to needs. Gallery free to visit, open seven days a week, accessible to disabled visitors. Exhibition openings free and open. Serves approx 12,700 people in southern Westchester County and northern Bronx, works with >300 artists and artist educators each year. - Qualifications: bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience, at least ten years of experience, including experience supervising personnel. - Pelham Art Center will consider candidates with broad range of backgrounds; encourage apply even if not exact match. - Applications must be accompanied by cover letter and resume. Cover letters should be responsive to mission and responsibilities/qualifications specified in position prospectus. (This is application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove that line.) - Salary range: $110,000 to $120,000 annually. - Benefits: comprehensive package including health insurance, 403(b)-retirement plan with employer match, free classes for employees and family members, discounts on shop and gallery purchases, generous paid time off. - Reasonable accommodation contact: Carmel Napolitano at email. That's contact info; might be considered application instruction? It's a contact for accommodation; could be considered part of application instructions. The rule says remove application instructions. Probably we should remove that line as well. - Also there is a link to apply; remove. Thus we need sections: - About the role: maybe a brief summary of role and organization. Could be a paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: maybe education and experience. - Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? Might combine. But we need to follow rule: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for responsibilities, requirements (education/experience), qualifications (maybe same as requirements). Could treat "Requirements" as education/experience, "Qualifications" as additional attributes like supervising experience, etc. But we have limited distinct content. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could infer but must not invent. So we should not create Skills section unless posting explicitly states skills. It doesn't list specific skills like "budgeting", "fundraising", etc. It mentions responsibilities that imply skills but not explicit list. Safer to omit Skills. - Benefits: we have content. - Pay: we have salary range. - Schedule: not mentioned; omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: Could be a paragraph summarizing the role and organization. Use info: Reporting to Board, dynamic leader, chief public representative, charting course, strategic leadership, vision, financial stewardship, organizational direction across education, exhibitions, community engagement, fostering inclusive environment, building reputation, expanding audiences, strengthening partnerships, developing innovative programming, advancing education, exhibitions, public programs, increasing access for underserved, maintaining artistic excellence, connecting with Tri-State network to recruit artists, etc. Also mention core development activities, fundraising events, ensuring sustainability. Also description of Pelham Art Center: non-profit educational and cultural institution, welcoming, accessible, vibrant space, provides classes, workshops, outreach, gallery free, etc. Could be two paragraphs. But we must not repeat job title as heading. That's fine. Responsibilities: list bullet points: - Provide strategic leadership, vision, strong financial stewardship, and organizational direction across education, exhibitions, and community engagement. - Foster an inclusive and welcoming environment. - Build upon the Center's strong reputation by expanding audiences, strengthening community partnerships, and developing innovative programming that reflects emerging artistic practices and evolving community needs. - Advance education initiatives, exhibitions, public programs, and opportunities that increase access for underserved populations while maintaining artistic excellence. - Connect with a broad professional network throughout the Tri-State area to recruit exceptional artists, teaching artists, curators, and partners. - Be primarily responsible for core development activities, including corporate sponsorships, foundation and government grants, major donor cultivation, the annual appeal, and membership management. - Work closely with the Board of Directors to plan and execute the Pelham Art Center's two signature fundraising events each year: the spring gala and the fall fundraising event. - Ensure the long-term sustainability and continued growth of Pelham Art Center as a vibrant cultural resource for the region. Requirements: education and experience: - Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience. - At least ten years of experience, including experience supervising personnel. Qualifications: maybe "Pelham Art Center will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds. If you are excited about this role and feel that you can contribute to PAC, but your experience does not exactly align with every qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply." That's more encouragement, not a qualification. Could be considered as qualification? Might be considered as "qualifications" but it's more about encouraging. Might be better to not create Qualifications section if it's just encouragement. However we have some qualifications like "dynamic, versatile, highly collaborative leader". That's more of a description. Could be under About the role. Better to treat Qualifications as the same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But rule says use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for both; we can keep both but ensure not duplicate. Let's define: - Requirements: education and experience (bullet list). - Qualifications: personal attributes and competencies: dynamic, versatile, highly collaborative leader, chief public representative, ability to connect with broad professional network, experience in development/fundraising, etc. But many of those are also responsibilities. Might be overlapping. Given risk of duplication, maybe we just have Requirements (education/experience) and treat other descriptive content under About the role and Responsibilities. Then we can omit Qualifications section. But the instruction says: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's just examples; we can omit sections not present. So we can omit Qualifications if no specific content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Check if any schedule info: none. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Posted: Sep 15, 2026", "Application Deadline: N/A", "ZRG Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner..." Actually that is part of posting but not boilerplate; it's contextual. Should we keep? It's substantive info about the partnership. Might be considered part of About the role? It mentions ZRG Aspen Leadership Group is partner in search. That's not essential to role but could be included. However it's not about the role itself; it's about the search firm. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's a statement about the partnership. Could be kept but maybe not needed. The rule: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep that sentence. It's substantive: "ZRG Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Pelham Art Center (PAC) in the search for an Executive Director." That's relevant to the posting. We can include it in About the role paragraph. Also "Posted: Sep 15, 2026" is metadata; could be considered minor metadata; rule says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we could fold the posted date into a short p maybe at top? But we are not supposed to output any extra headings; we could include a short p at beginning with the posted date? However the rule says "fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." It's optional to include. I'd drop it to keep clean. "Application Deadline: N/A" is minor metadata; drop. "Salary: $110,000.00 - $120,000.00 Annually" we will capture in Pay section. Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. There's duplication of salary range later; we will include once. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    Salary range: $110,000 to $120,000 annually.

    Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Now craft About the role paragraph: combine info. Paragraph: "Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will be a dynamic, versatile, and highly collaborative leader and the Pelham Art Center's chief public representative, charting its course for the future. The role provides strategic leadership, vision, strong financial stewardship, and organizational direction across education, exhibitions, and broad community engagement while fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment. The Executive Director will build upon the Center's strong reputation by expanding audiences, strengthening community partnerships, and developing innovative programming that reflects emerging artistic practices and the evolving needs of the communities it serves, including advancing education initiatives, exhibitions, public programs, and opportunities that increase access for underserved populations while maintaining artistic excellence. The Executive Director will connect with a broad professional network throughout the Tri‑State area to recruit exceptional artists, teaching artists, curators, and partners, and will be primarily responsible for core development activities such as corporate sponsorships, foundation and government grants, major donor cultivation, the annual appeal, and membership management. Working closely with the Board, the Executive Director will also support the planning and execution of the Pelham Art Center's two signature fundraising events each year: the spring gala and the fall fundraising event. Through strategic leadership,
