Women's Voice for the Earth was founded in 1995, and is a non-profit 501(c)3 grassroots environmental justice organization based in Missoula, Montana. WVE's mission is to empower women and others who historically have had little power in affecting environmental policy, to create an ecologically sustainable and socially just society. We believe that for significant environmental protection and social change to take place, the environmental movement must include and empower all sectors of the population regardless of race, religion, economic status, sexual orientation or gender. WVE unites people working on a broad spectrum of issues including health, peace, conservation, justice, women's and Native American rights. Since its inception WVE has focused its work in two areas: protecting endangered ecosystems from mining, logging or other proposed development and eliminating toxic pollution, while at the same time, building leadership skills within our constituency. The Executive Director will provide the primary executive, strategic, representational and fundraising leadership for the organization. Responsibilities include fundraising, program management, and serving as a spokesperson for the organization. The successful applicant for the position will have previous leadership experience; grassroots experience in environmental or social justice work; strong oral and written communication skills; excellent social and supervisory skills; proven fundraising capabilities and a demonstrated interest in and agreement with WVE's mission and environmental programs.
