The New York-North Jersey Chapter is looking for someone to head the Chapter's Conservation Committee. This is a high profile position within the Chapter. The Conservation Committee Chair is expected to be a vigorous and engaged leader and supporter of the AMC's Conservation Mission and Values. The Conservation Committee Chair will have discretion to select a specific conservation initiative of their choosing, which they are passionate about and committed to achieving, and which aligns with the conservation mission of the AMC. This specific initiative will define our Chapter's conservation direction and primary advocacy efforts for the next few years. See outdoors.org to understand more about the AMCs conservation mission, values and current conservation projects. The Conservation Committee Chair will have a budget to work with, along with the responsibility, authority and mandate, where needed, to recruit chapter members to support the Conservation Committee's initiatives. The Conservation Committee Chair must also be able to communicate orally and in writing at the college level. The Conservation Committee Chair is expected to be able to understand and explain the scientific research which supports the identified conservation initiative. The AMC's various conservation programs are backed by ongoing hard scientific research. The Conservation Committee Chair will be expected to present, using a PowerPoint presentation, for example, the importance of the Chapter's conservation initiatives to outside organizations, as well as to Chapter members from time to time. The Conservation Committee Chair may or may not meet with elected representatives and/or submit written comments to response to state regulatory proposals. The AMC educates and informs elected representatives and the public at large, and does not engage in political activities. The Conservation Committee Chair will also support and coordinate, where necessary, ??the initiatives of Chapter members who may be involved in their own conservation projects, such as beach and river cleanup, etc. All AMC Chapters and the organization are coordinating for the 50th year celebration of Earth Day, along with the 50th year anniversary of the enactment of the Clean Air and Water Acts. The Conservation Committee is expected to lead the Chapter's involvement in these events. Please send CV and email to vicechair@amc-ny.org, and call Rick Bryan to discuss for more details: 212 979-2868.
