Positions
The Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota is looking to fill
two positions. We are considered the best farmer to farmer education
network in sustainable ag in the nation today. We are an assertive
organization looking for a strong program manager. We have a strong
board at this point.
We are looking for the right person for the job as opposed to specific
skills. Excellent communication skills are essential, a "political,
handshaking-type" to smooth relations with partners and board.
Leadership skills a must. Don't worry if you don't have experience in
some of the areas-publishing, grantwriting, etc. We have people we can
share this with or train you. This is a "hired gun" type of position
which we hope the candidate will assertively try to grant write enough
to make fulltime or even envision hiring more people.
A super opportunity for an assertive person on the sustainable ag
track who really wants to make a difference. Lots of meetings and a
fair amount of travel. Pay isn't wonderful at this point, but who
knows how far you would like to take it....
