Are you a changemaker? Do you feel inspired by the thought of blazing new trails for community conservation on the north coast of Oregon? The Necanicum Watershed Council (NWC) is a small but mighty team of passionate conservation and community engagement advocates and leaders, focused on uniting the ecological and economic sustainability of our 56,000 acre basin. We are looking for our next Executive Director to shepherd our team through our newest chapter of growth and impact. If you are a visionary leader with a deep commitment to collaborative conservation and driving meaningful change to the conservation system that empowers disenfranchised communities to guide conservation priorities, we want you.
About Us
The Necanicum Watershed Council is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Seaside, Oregon. The Council is composed of a diverse group of volunteers who collaborate to ensure the continued and amplified stewardship and monitoring of the 56,000 acre Necanicum Basin. The NWC promotes and leads projects which protect and enhance natural resources and ecosystem services through the cooperation and support of many partners including local agencies, schools, organizations, landowners, industries and business owners. In addition, the NWC is deeply committed to being a leader in the dismantling of inequities in the conservation space, as can be highlighted by our partnerships with the Chinook Indian Nation and Consejo Hispano, a local nonprofit providing community and services for the north coast’s Latinx population.
For close to thirty years the Necanicum Watershed Council has engaged with volunteers and stakeholders to conduct habitat restoration and conservation outreach work in the Seaside and Gearhart communities. We have a creative, committed and supportive Board of Directors made up of a variety of backgrounds from tribal conservation forestry to legal practice. With our recent growth in the last three years, the NWC is in the final stages of drafting and adopting a Strategic Action Plan as well as smaller guiding plans such as a Fundraising Plan, Annual Work Plan and Equity Action Plan.
Who Are We Looking For?
You are a natural leader that is passionate about coastal riparian habitat restoration, natural resources stewardship, underserved community engagement in conservation and tribal leadership in conservation planning. You are committed to working in a cooperative manner with like-minded partners to ensure a more ecologically and economically sustainable future for the basin. But you are also able and willing to work with individuals and partners who may not share the same opinions but are critical components to watershed conservation and management.
Our next Executive Director will place a premium on the continued fostering of partnerships that we have developed with the Chinook Indian Nation and Consejo Hispano, blazing the path for new ways to create leadership space for underserved communities in conservation. Our ideal candidate will be strategic in planning but creative in thought, mending the two for a meaningful and changemaking vision for the NWC. They will be a thoughtful listener and excellent communicator in their own individual way. In addition, the next Executive Director of the NWC will work tirelessly to support their staff of two who play a pivotal role in project development, management and implementation.
Most of all, our next visionary leader will have the courage to empower the NWC to continue blazing new paths for conservation that drive radical shifts towards indigenous leadership and BIPOC engagement, while maintaining critical relationships within the community, and will handle the complexities of local geopolitics with grace and care.
