Dear friends and colleagues,
I will be resigning from my role as MACC’s Executive Director in early April and starting a new job with the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM), an environmental advocacy organization located in Boston. I have truly enjoyed my work at MACC over the last four-and-a-half years in support of community-based conservation by Conservation Commissions. I look forward to continuing to assist MACC and Conservation Commissions through legislative advocacy in my new role at ELM. I will be on the job at MACC until the second week in April.
MACC is now seeking its next Executive Director. From firsthand experience I can tell you the position is extremely rewarding. The Executive Director is fortunate to work with a wonderful and supportive staff and board of directors. The work itself is interesting, important and challenging. See below for the job announcement and application instructions. Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested in applying.
Thank you for supporting MACC, and I look forward to seeing you on March 1 at our Annual Environmental Conference (visit us at www.maccweb.org if you have not yet registered).
