External Description:

Administrative Council Services Coordinator

The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), the largest airline pilot union in the world and the largest non-governmental aviation safety organization in the world (representing over 80,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines) seeks a Council Services Coordinator for our Tysons (McLean), Virginia office. Council Services Coordinators (CSCs) provide direct service and assistance to local council representatives and officers, i.e., the CSC is the initial contact for all needs and ALPA services. CSCs handle tasks such as planning meetings and events, processing council correspondence, coordinating artwork, purchasing requests, and, facilitating other administrative requests to ensure the success of the elected officers they support. Each pilot group’s local council officers have their own primary point of contact (POC) CSC, as well as backup support from the other CSCs when their primary CSC is unavailable.

Based in the Association’s national office, the CSC provides primary support for elected officers who do not have out-based staff and they support/guide out-based staff who may need assistance, ensuring a smooth flow of communication from council representatives to their members, with MEC officers, and providing contact with appropriate Association staff. CSC customer service enables council representatives and officers to efficiently and effectively perform their responsibilities while adhering to ALPA policies and procedures, as provided for in ALPA governing body documents. As a CSC, they establish and maintain accurate and complete records and conscientiously respond to events and situations as they arise, always and pragmatically representing the pilots and ALPA with a professional demeanor, especially in stressful and/or potentially stressful situations.
