KEY BLOCK----- Hi all, We are continuing our search for a Director of Policy and Legislation. Could I impose on you to take a few minutes to think about whether you know anyone who'd be good for this position, regardless of whether they are currently actively looking for a new position? With our current hundred active grass-tops members, we're already able to get meetings with most Democratic Senators. On our mid-November Lobby Day, for example, our members met with 8 Senators and Senior staff for two others. Now, as we implement our plans to scale up our membership, we're ready to hire a first-rate policy and legislative director. The summary job description is below, along with a link to a more detailed description. Although not mentioned below, it's also likely that a progressive PAC will contract with Voices for a piece of this person's time. While the most important qualification is Senate and legislative advocacy experience, PAC experience would also be helpful. Voices for Progress is seeking a seasoned federal policy and legislative advocacy professional. This person will work directly with Voices’ president on policy issues, including the Clean Air Act/EPA authority, judicial nominations, the federal budget, and other issues as they arise, and will supervise one other staff person. The ideal candidate would have experience on a Senate staff, lobbying experience, and experience summarizing complex policy issues for lay audiences. For more info: http://voicesforprogress.org/about/careers/policy-legislative-director Many thanks for giving this some thought.
