Environmental Action: Executive Director
Environmental Action is seeking an Executive Director to manage and
expand Environmental Action.
Mission and Background: Environmental Action was one of the key
players in the environmental victories of the 1970s – passage of the
Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, NEPA, and more. Dormant for several
decades, the organization has re-launched with a new approach: to call
for the real changes we need to make in order to save the planet – not
just for what is politically doable today. Our mission is to enlarge
the frame of debate about the environment by articulating the hard
choices our society needs to make, demanding meaningful action from
leaders and polluters, and ultimately making substantial change a
political reality. Over time, we aim to build a constituency that can,
as the hard core of the conservative right has done over the last 40
years, redefine the politics of the country. As we’ve seen setbacks on
global warming, especially at the federal level, the time is ripe for
Environmental Action to fulfill its mission through winning the hearts
and minds of Americans and making real global warming solutions a
reality.
Priorities and Strategies:
• One of the most important ways for Environmental Action to execute
its mission is to enlarge the frame of the debate. Environmental
Action will prioritize communications – reaching as many people as
possible and educating them about the problems and solutions. Further,
to win the support of the American people on issues like global
warming, Environmental Action needs to organize the media,
celebrities, and other opinion leaders.
• Another key strategy will be developing new program areas.
Environmental Action will need to meet people where they are at, and
then cultivate a deeper awareness, understanding of, participation in
solving our biggest environmental challenges.
• Environmental Action will pursue close synergy between online and
offline organizing. Online organizing is essential for reaching broad
swathes of the public and sparking interest and will be the primary
strategy. A close second strategy will be working offline to build the
true grassroots power environmentalists need.
• The fourth strategy will be to utilize all channels of interest to
engage and organize its members. Environmental Action will connect
with its members as political activists, as environmentalists, and as
people who live their beliefs through changes in their lifestyle.
Job Description: The Executive Director position has been unstaffed to
date. Environmental Action staff have built an active email membership
and developed a strong base of small donors. Our staff have also
contributed their organizing and policy expertise to several important
environmental and electoral campaigns. The Executive Director will be
charged with developing and executing a strategic plan to staff up
Environmental Action and upgrade and expand Environmental Action’s
programmatic work.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop a 3-Year Strategic plan for Environmental Action. Hire,
train, and oversee a core staff, including a Program Director,
Communications Director, and Field Director, and field organizers.
• Develop program areas and campaigns, with a specific emphasis on
global warming. Campaigns should build power in the long-term while
achieving victories in the short-term.
• Develop diverse fundraising strategy, including expanding
Environmental Action’s citizen outreach program, particularly by
launching a face-to-face canvass operation and expanding Environmental
Action’s already strong online program as well as raising money from
foundations and large donors.
•
Qualifications: We are looking for candidates who have 5+ years of
experience in organizing or advocacy and staff management. Candidates
must have a demonstrated commitment to nonprofit and political work,
with an enthusiasm for Environmental Action’s mission and a commitment
to grassroots social change. Applicants must have experience
organizing; online organizing experience is a plus but is not
required. Top applicants should be excellent writers with experience
writing to diverse audiences. Candidates must be ready for a challenge
and ready to build Environmental Action into a major, national
environmental organization, and they must have the vision to see the
path for getting there.
Applicants should have excellent verbal communication, analytical and
planning skills. They should have the ability to work on multiple
projects simultaneously. An outstanding work ethic and an
entrepreneurial mindset are expected.
Locations, Salary & Benefits: Boston, Denver, Washington, DC (though
other locations in major cities will be considered). Salary is
commensurate with experience. Generous benefits package.
To Apply: Send resume and cover letter to Tiffany Isaacs,
tiffany@publicinterestnetwork.org. No phone calls please.

health care workers in Brooklyn, public housing residents in Hempstead,

campaign, a web application, organize a mass rally - its up to you!
If selected to participate in this exciting opportunity, you will get

and community organizing. In addition to this hands-on experience, interns

* Have strong interpersonal skills and are outgoing and passionate about
the work and cause
* Are self motivated, flexible and able to multi-task
* Work well in a fast paced, non-traditional work environment

with potential for future employment.
