CEC SEEKS DIRECTOR

The Citizens’ Environmental Coalition, a coalition of more than 100 environmental organizations in the Houston region, seeks a dynamic and self-motivated executive director. The coalition has been an important presence in Houston’s environmental community for 36 years and acts as an information clearinghouse for issues important to the health and quality of life of the community. The CEC also encourages collaboration through its management of the Houston Environmental Center, its coordination of Houston Earth Day events, and its annual Synergy Awards.

Our member groups are nonprofit, governmental, and educational organizations that engage in a broad range of environmental activities. Our role is to encourage and assist our groups in their mission and to provide a support structure for collaboration in sharing resources, knowledge, and expertise.

The ED is responsible for supervising daily operations, including management of the Houston Environmental Center. The ED reports to and works with the Board of Trustees. The ED candidate must have organizational, strategic planning, program development, fundraising, and grant writing skills and experience, and be able to work well with people. An environmental passion is a must. Experience with publishing, design, and production is helpful but not essential. Computer skills, especially with the Macintosh operating system, MS Office, and Filemaker, are essential.
