We’re Hiring! A message from Clean Air’s Executive Search Committee

Over the past fourteen years, the Clean Air Coalition of WNY has built a strong foundation. We know what it means to build community, care for one another, and work towards a more beautiful and clear vision for the world that we want to see.

At the end of 2020, Clean Air said goodbye to our friend and leader of ten years, Rebecca Newberry, who accepted a job with The BlueGreen Alliance, a national leader in building a clean economy and environmental protections. Without skipping a beat our Members, Staff, and Board of Directors took this opportunity to celebrate the work we’ve accomplished and envision the leadership we need for the next chapter of Clean Air.

Our Board of Directors led a team that oversaw this transition at Clean Air over the past four months. The Executive Search Committee was established and has members of our Board and Membership working alongside Catherine Bombico of Bombico Consulting. Our team worked to create a clear vision for the next leader of Clean Air and ensure the search process aligns with our mission, vision, and values. This intentional process included the valuable feedback of our Members, Board, and Staff who shared their knowledge and vision for our next Executive Director.

Today we’re excited to share with you that Clean Air is now hiring!

We’re seeking a dynamic Executive Director that will build relationships, support our membership, coach and support our staff organizers, and lead Clean Air into our next chapter through strategic and innovative approaches. Our new Executive Director will step into a strong and growing team committed to organizing poor and working-class communities for environmental justice, and a reputation for winning.

You can view our full Executive Director Job Description online at cacwny.org/jobs. The deadline to apply is April 14th. Please help us spread the word far and wide and if this is an opportunity you are interested in, please consider applying.

With hope, justice, and excitement for our next chapter,

The Executive Search Committee
Joel Bernosky, Sydney Brown, Phylicia Brown, and Jennifer Carman
