| Description |
IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
The Colorado River Campaign Manager is a dynamic program leader who works with the Southwest Regional Director to lead NPCA’s expansive Colorado River initiative., One of the most important and celebrated rivers on our continent, the Colorado River, flows through ten iconic national park units. For decades, the river has been managed (responsibility rests with the Department of Interior) to meet specific delivery obligations and to support hydropower generation. Unfortunately, the specific requirements of national park units dependent on the river to sustain and protect natural and cultural resources has not been adequately documented and/or represented in a comprehensive fashion. NPCA is completing a detailed assessment of park resources, economic values and a set of recommendations and prescriptions that we believe can improve park resources.
The Colorado River Campaign Manager will work primarily to promote the implementation of these recommendations and prescriptions. The Manager will coordinate his/her work with an established core group of Colorado River allies (known as the Colorado River Collaborative) in the development and implementation of a basin wide strategy and communications plan that will strive to restrict river diversions, protect fragile ecosystems and build a strong, vocal and varied constituency of advocates for river management reform. Critical to the success of this effort is the cultivation of a wide and diverse network of influential thought leaders and community leaders from throughout the region.
We are seeking to identify, recruit and engage a network of river advocates from throughout the basin who are motivated by their special interest and connection to these selected national park units. The Manager will engage these new advocates through multiple platforms to include the larger landscape protection objectives of the Colorado River collaborative, specific local and regional issues and through the larger network of NPCA park engagement strategies.
