       American River Campaign Coordinator
          
          
          The American River Coalition is seeking to retain a consultant to 
fill the position of American River Campaign Coordinator.  The Coalition is 
an alliance of approximately 25 national, regional and local organizations 
dedicated to the protection of the American River.  The Coalition's 1996 
campaign goals are to defeat federal and state legislation authorizing 
construction of the proposed Auburn dam on the American River; defeat local 
funding for the Auburn dam; pass federal, state and/or regional measures 
authorizing a non-Auburn dam flood control project; encourage 
regional water supply solutions which do not require construction of the 
Auburn dam; and set the foundation for future legislative protection of the 
American River.  
          
   To fulfill these goals, the Campaign Coordinator will:
          
   * Help develop and implement a federal/state/local campaign 
     strategy in coordination with the steering committee and
     other staff. 
             
   * Coordinate with other consultants, staff, organizations and 
     individual activists working on the campaign.
             
   * Lobby legislative and agency decision makers in Washington 
     D.C. and Sacramento, California.
             
   * Coordinate media and public education outreach with other 
     campaign participants.
             
   * Solicit funding for the campaign. 
          
  The Campaign Coordinator will report to the American River Coalition 
Steering Committee.  The Coordinator's contract will pay $3,750/month, not 
including expenses.  The contract will begin immediately for a six month 
period and will be considered for renewal.  Working with a fundraising 
consultant and the steering committee, the Coordinator will be responsible 
for some fundraising.  Campaign tasks in Washington D.C. and in California 
will require extensive travel and time spent in both locations.  
Qualifications should include experience in strategy development and 
implementation, legislative lobbying, collaborative work, fundraising, 
media and communication skills.
          
  To apply, send a letter of introduction, resume and references to Steve 
Evans, Conservation Director, Friends of the River, 128 J Street - 2nd 
Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814, (916) 442-3155, FAX: (916) 442-3396.
