> Dear Friend of the Sustainability Institute,
>
> The Sustainability Institute (SI) is seeking an exceptional candidate
> who can offer outstanding leadership, both within our organization and
> beyond, in the wider field of sustainability.  See
> http://www.sustainer.org/SIinfo/jobs.html#ED  or the PDF attached below.
>
> We invite applications from candidates experienced in building and
> directing experienced teams working on any aspect of sustainability
> and social change.  Our ideal candidate will have a passion for
> creating and promoting sustainable systems. S/he will be able to grasp
> complex issues quickly, identify critical needs and opportunities,
> attract talented staff, build effective and collaborative teams,
> network widely with leaders at all levels in the for-profit, non-
> profit and governmental spheres, attract funding, and lead the SI into
> an exciting new phase of its work in the world.
>
> Since 1996, the SI has designed and implemented many successful   
> projects. We have learned much from those experiences, and have   
> developed a clearer focus for our organization's niche in a rapidly   
> changing world. We found that we can be most effective when we 
> combine  the strengths of our staff in an integrated approach that 
> includes  systems modelling, convening diverse stakeholders, and 
> training  leaders in sustainability.
>
> Our work is currently focused on the issue of climate change and we
> aim to grow and change to meet the challenges at hand, taking
> advantage of opportunities for the greatest and most positive impact
> on the world, at all scales from local to global.
>
> Over the last year, we have reflected deeply on our mission and on the
> optimal organizational structure and culture to further that mission.
> We have restructured the SI, established new personnel and financial
> policies, and hired an operations manager. Our financial situation is
> excellent as we enter these difficult economic times. We are ready now
> for new leadership that will challenge us to stretch and to grow, to
> increase our capacity and, above all, to promote sustainable practices
> whose impact can be demonstrated. Our staff and board are ready to
> work with our new executive director on strategic planning as soon as
> our new leader arrives.
>
> As you may know, we began our search for an executive director some
> months ago. We have considered many truly outstanding candidates but
> have not yet found the match between a candidate and the position.
> Based on that experience, we are confident that there is a significant
> pool of candidates out in the world that would serve the SI and
> humankind well in this vital role.
>
> We hope you will make this opportunity known to anyone you feel has
> the drive, energy, experience and talents that this position demands.
> Thank you for your support of the SI, and for your commitment to a
> more sustainable world.
