ABOUT VOLGENAU CLIMATE INITIATIVE
The Volgenau Climate Initiative (VCI) is a ten-year leadership program designed to support and spark more innovation, determination, and breakthrough actions to address the rapidly worsening climate crisis, primarily in the United States. VCI convenes groups of diverse and talented leaders dedicated to advancing a range of nature-based climate solutions that support mitigation, resilience, biodiversity, and equity on natural, working and urban lands and waters. Our remotely-based and talented team designs and organizes nature-based convenings that help leaders step back, assess strategic priorities, and form deep and trusted bonds to facilitate ongoing collaboration, and strategic initiatives designed for real world impact. Leaders come together to try out untested ideas, examine failures, assess risks, and build shared visions and action agendas. VCI’s ultimate mission is to unleash bold and novel approaches to addressing the climate emergency and related crises and to help secure meaningful and measurable outcomes and impacts from our retreats and programs.
THE OPPORTUNITY
VCI seeks a remotely-based executive director to lead its mission and programs to benefit both the natural world and human communities. The executive director reports to a highly committed board of directors and will bring vision, significant leadership and management skills, and a track record of impact and success. This visionary leader will have at least ten years of outstanding and relevant leadership experience and possess considerable knowledge of the climate threat and solutions. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the climate field, be familiar with conservation and restoration strategies for nature, and be highly skilled interpersonally. This individual will grasp the essential role of human relationships as the bedrock of social change while also moving toward measurable impacts, and will be able to inspire, manage and work collaboratively with staff, board and allied partners.
