Emerging Conservation Professionals Network communication coordinator sought

AIC's Emerging Conservation Professionals Network (ECPN) is seeking
a new Communications Coordinator. The Communications Coordinator
will serve a one-year term beginning just after the 2012 AIC Annual
Meeting, with the option of renewal for a second year.

ECPN works to address the needs of conservation professionals with
fewer than 7 years of experience, including pre-program students,
graduate students, and recent graduates. The committee seeks to
enhance the dialogue among emerging conservators and experienced
conservators and between AIC and the conservation training programs
and to increase emerging conservator participation in AIC.

The Communications Coordinator acts as the secretary for ECPN; works
to raise awareness of the group and to attract new, active members;
encourages involvement of emerging conservators in AIC
communications and publications, including JAIC and Wikis; keeps the
broader AIC membership apprised of ECPN activities by writing or
soliciting columns, blog posts, and articles as appropriate; and
works with the Outreach coordinators to investigate and encourage
the use of social media, including recruitment of authors and
solicitation of content for the blog.

The time commitment is roughly 6-9 hours per month, consisting of
approximately 2-3 hours for monthly meetings and minutes, 1-2 hours
writing for the blog and communicating with other AIC committee
members, and 3-4 hours for other research, writing, and occasional
graphic design.

The ECPN committee communicates primarily via email correspondence
and monthly conference calls.   The committee meets in-person
annually at AIC's Annual Meeting.

To apply, please submit a brief statement of interest and your
resume by April 6, 2012 to
