21.) Executive Vice President of External Affairs, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), Washington, DC

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) seeks to hire an Executive Vice President of External Affairs to be based in the Washington, DC headquarters office.

About National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit that preserves and restores our nation?s native wildlife species and habitats. Created by Congress in 1984, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation sustains, restores and enhances the Nation?s fish, wildlife, plants and habitats. Through leadership conservation investments with public and private partners, the Foundation is dedicated to achieving maximum conservation impact by developing and applying best practices and innovative methods for measurable outcomes. NFWF directs public conservation dollars to the most pressing environmental needs and matches those investments with private funds. The Foundation’s method is simple and effective: we work with a full complement of individuals, foundations, government agencies, nonprofits, and corporations to identify and fund the nation?s most intractable conservation challenges.

NFWF?s partnerships are key to its success. Sitting at the nexus of the public and private communities, the Foundation’s myriad partnerships connect it with potentially every federal and state agency, key industry leaders, concerned private citizens, and non-profit leaders from the international to the local level. The results speak for themselves. Since its establishment, NFWF has awarded over 10,800 grants to more than 3,700 organizations in the United States and abroad and leveraged ? with its partners ? more than $490 million of federal funds into over $1.6 billion for conservation.

The Foundation operates a portfolio of Keystone Initiatives in four major conservation areas (Birds, Wildlife and Habitat, Freshwater Fish and Habitats, and Marine and Coastal).

The Foundation operates two types of initiatives that enable it to focus on achieving maximum sustainable conservation impact while being responsive to funders, attracting more money to conservation, investing in innovation and best practices, and managing its own financial health.

Charter – partner driven and needs-based

Keystone – multi-year initiatives and issue specific

The Foundation has set a high bar for outcome-driven conservation investing. Its aspirations are to be the most effective foundation at investing for maximum conservation benefit and to be recognized as a thought leader in how and where to invest. Science and evaluation are collectively the means to choose the right areas in which to invest. The Foundation intends to take a thought leadership role in conservation investing and evaluation. The Foundation analyzes and synthesizes findings from its conservation investments and shares that information and best practices with the conservation community.

Executive Vice President for External Affairs

The Executive Vice President of External Affairs represents a strategic and important leadership role in the Foundation. This person is one of three direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer and should bring a sophisticated and innovative capacity to leverage the Foundation’s brand as a conservation leader to raise significant private and public sector resources. The Executive Vice President should bring an engaging capacity and excitement to reach out beyond the nonprofit universe, to work with a new set of partners in the private sector to leverage for-profit markets to achieve conservation objectives. In addition to providing internal leadership, the Executive Vice President will expand the reach and influence of the Foundation through interactions with public, private, and philanthropic leaders. The Executive Vice President should be an individual who thrives on working with leaders who are passionate about investing in the Foundation’s conservation mission and vision .

The Executive Vice President should also have a proven track record of success working with high net worth individuals, managing and developing a team of fundraising professionals, and possessing a demonstrated capacity to engage a high powered nonprofit board of private and public sector leaders. The Executive Vice President will work to create an alignment among the key external affairs functions of the Foundation ? Development and Marketing, Communications and Public Relations, and Legislative, Congressional and Agency Relations.

Moreover, the Executive Vice President should be viewed as a motivating leader who serves an important and strategic role in shaping strategy, guiding the external relations policies and practices of the Foundation, and supporting the interests of the Board. In this role, the Executive Vice President will need to be a person eager to work in an innovative, entrepreneurial and high energy, results-oriented organization.

The Executive Vice President will also provide day-to-day direction to the Development and Marketing, Communications and Public Relations, and Congressional and Agency Relations staff. Because of the breadth of the overall External Affairs program, the Executive Vice President must possess both a vision and an ability to analyze and synthesize complex information that supports the Foundation’s business and strategic goals.

The Executive Vice President must cultivate strong and cooperative working partnerships with government agencies, corporations, foundations, and other conservation partners, and have the presence and stature to engage the highest levels of leadership in these organizations.

The broad goals for the Executive Vice President include:

Explore and implement opportunities for creative partnerships and philanthropic investment opportunities that promote investment at a greater scale in all areas of the Foundation’s work.

Design a strategy which aligns the Foundation’s brand as a conservation leader to materially advance revenue objectives of the organization.

Leverage and expand opportunities for the Foundation’s Board to fully engage in philanthropic activities which dramatically increase unrestricted resources to support innovative program expansion.

Work in close partnership with the CEO and other senior management in order to insure a working culture for all staff that is positive, creative, and highly collegial.

JOTW 22-2011

30 May 2011

This is newsletter number 879

The 30th day of May 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades, who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every City, Village, hamlet, and church yard in the land…. It is the purpose of the commander-in-chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while asurvivor of the war remains, to honor the memory of his departed comrades.

– General John A. Logan (1826-1886)

(General Orders No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic, 5 May 1868, excerpts.)

My great grandfather’s GAR hat hangs on the wall in my old room at my mother’s house. John Kirby was a drummer boy at age 16. After he died some years later, his wife would come to the cemetery each Decoration Day, and the other GAR veterans would come to pay their respects to her and the other widows. The cemetery in Saxonville, Mass., was a very busy place on Decoration Day.

My mother remembers this quite well. She is 96.

Logan International Airport in Boston is named after Gen. John Logan.

As noted by Ed Wittman: “Today is celebrated in the United States as Memorial Day, originally intended as an occasion to decorate the graves of our war dead, but now observed as something of an “All Souls Day” in which the memory of past family members is also honored. Originally called “Decoration Day,” the holiday was first observed on 30 May 1868 at the order of Civil War general John A. Logan in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization for Union Army veterans. Soon, the custom became nation-wide, and by 1882 it was being celebrated everywhere, even in the former Confederacy. In 1968, Memorial Day's official observance was moved to the last Monday in May to create a three-day weekend, much to the dismay of many traditionalists.
