First, it should be noted that these moves are unrelated… it just happened to be the right time for two members of our team. Now we’ll give them the floor:

James: For me, it came down to a personal decision. I’ve been living in Chapel Hill since I graduated from high school in 2004 and felt like to continue my personal growth, I needed to get out of the town where I went to college. When I’m done, God willing, I’ll be moving into a job that prepares me for my ultimate goal: owning an NBA team.

Jenna: My decision to move on was both personal and professional. I'm a sucker for public health, and have been waiting for the right time to go back to school and get my MPH. I'm also a sucker for a boy from Idaho, and have been waiting for the right time to marry him. As these are both big transitions, it just seemed right for them to coincide, so I'll be getting married this summer and going back to school in the fall.

Timeline:

We’re accepting applications between now and March 10 for both positions. From there, we’ll be narrowing down our list of applicants to those we’d like to interview and making offers, with the goal of having new people in and ready to go by June 1.

Job Descriptions are available on Idealist.org for Executive Director and Chapter Coordinator.

Executive Director: Student Board Member Pallavi Garg will be as involved as she wants to be. Unless she declines, we’re hoping she’ll be intimately involved with interviewing and selecting our new Director, since ultimately this organization exists for its students.

Chapter Coordinator: Currently there are no active roles for students/Chapter leaders in the selection and interview process for our new Chapter Coordinator. With that said, we’d love to have a student sit in on the interviews and help us pick a candidate — so if you’re interested in this, please send us an email to info “at” nourishinternational.org

If you feel like we’ve missed something here, just send us an email — we’re not wedded to any particular part of the process.

Good news -- we've hired a Chapter Coordinator (more on the new member of our team is still to come!), however, our breakneck expansion requires that we continue hiring!

Now we're accepting resumes for a Development Director.  If you're interested, check it out on Idealist or read the description below.

To apply, send a resume/cover letter to james@nourishinternational.org.

As I mentioned in our last post, Nourish International is expanding, which means adding more people to our team. Right now, we're hiring for the Chapter Coordinator Position -- a description is posted below. To apply or get more information, send a cover letter/resume to james@nourishinternational.org by May 7.

Summary

The Chapter Network is the engine for the growth and success of Nourish. Students from our chapter are responsible for funding, designing and implementing our projects (in conjunction with our partners). By 2009, this network will generate over $200,000 in revenue and manage close to twenty yearly partnerships.

To accomplish this we are creating a Chapter Coordinator position at our National Office to facilitate and accelerate chapter growth. This position offers the opportunity for an individual with superior communication, organization, relationship-building and management skills to play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term success of our movement.
Nourish seeks individuals of all ethnic and racial backgrounds to apply for the position.
