The Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) is seeking a highly motivated individual to be our first Executive Director . Located in Peterborough, the OIPC was created to facilitate a coordinated and effective response to the threat of invasive plants by providing leadership, expertise and a forum to educate, motivate and empower organizations and citizens. As we enter our tenth year, we are looking to build on our achievements and grow our organization. We are looking for a part time (3 days/week) Executive Director (ED) to oversee all aspects of our day-to-day operations. The ED will report to the Board of Directors through the President and Executive Committee and will be responsible for fundraising/development (50% of time), Leadership and Strategic Planning (25%), Outreach and Communications (15%) and Administration (10%).
