We seek a Program Director for NWF’s Mississippi River Delta Restoration program to be responsible for leading the National Wildlife Federation’s efforts to secure both state and national commitments to the restoration of Coastal Louisiana. Working closely with the South Central Regional Executive Director and with NWF’s partner organizations, the Program Director will oversee the development and implementation of a campaign to ensure that Congress, the President, a range of federal agencies (Department of Interior, EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Council on Environmental Quality and others) and the state of Louisiana support and fund a timely, aggressive, sustainable coastal restoration program in Louisiana. He or she will serve on the Steering Committee for NWF’s joint campaign with Environmental Defense Fund and the National Audubon Society and in that capacity will co-manage the National Campaign Director for the project.
The Program Director will ensure key members of Congress and their staffs understand and support needed restoration projects and policies; oversee NWF’s efforts to cultivate and engage grassroots and grasstops activists across the country in support of this program; he or she will oversee NWF’s state-level campaign; ensure that restoration plans explicitly address climate-induced sea level rise; and will foster cooperation and collaboration between state and federal agencies charged with restoration planning and implementation. The Program Director will also integrate the Mississippi River Delta Campaign into NWF’s overall Gulf of Mexico Restoration Program
