Non-Profit Organization Executive Director – Deadline: Apply ASAPAbout 1000 Friends of Oregon
1000 Friends of Oregon is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to livable urban and rural communities, protecting family farms and forests, and conserving natural and scenic areas. While historically a “watch dog” of the nation’s first comprehensive statewide planning laws, 1000 Friends has transitioned into more of an advocacy role, engaging today’s Oregonians in a fresh conversation about our future, particularly with respect to the role of land-use and transportation planning in reducing greenhouse gasses and transitioning to a sustainable future.
1000 Friends of Oregon has a staff of 18 full or part-time employees in its Portland and three regional offices, an annual budget of about $1 million, and enjoys good fiscal health. We also enjoy the benefits of a modest endowment and reserve fund. 1000 Friends is governed by a Board of Directors with 13 members from all walks of life.
Job Description:
The Executive Director will develop and execute new strategic directions to continue to make that program relevant in the future. He or she will represent the public interest in sound planning before local governments, state agencies, and the Legislature. The Executive Director, with the close support of local grass roots advocacy groups across the state, will also serve as an ambassador to nurture coalitions of farmers, ranchers, developers, and public officials.
