SOMERSWORTH, NH – Distinctive Career Services LLC, career and resume consultants for professionals and executives for nearly 20 years, today announced that the firm’s founder, Michelle Dumas, has been named to the Board of Directors of The National Resume Writer’s Association (NRWA) as Experienced Business Owners Representative.
Dumas received the appointment after being voted in as Experienced Business Owners Representative by the NRWA membership. Dumas has been an active member of The NRWA since 1997, speaking at The NRWA conferences and serving as a member of The NRWA Certification Advisory Board.
The NRWA is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to the support of professional resume writers.

By working as part of The NRWA Board I will be able to share my experience and help small business owners identify new opportunities, develop new tools, and build their own operations.”
