Regional Field Coordinator
The Southern Energy Network is looking for an experienced organizer and manager to take on the role of coordinating our field organizing for clean energy around the Southeast. The Southeast is one of the most politically conservative regions in the United States; we use more energy per capita and produce some of the dirtiest energy in the country almost exclusively from nuclear and fossil fuels. So far, local and national Southern government representatives have been heavily influenced by powerful southern utilities such as Southern Company and the Tennessee Valley Authority, thwarting policies supporting clean, renewable energy and tainting any of the state climate legislation that has passed. Therefore, in order to pass much needed local, regional and federal energy and climate policies, we must educate and activate Southern citizens and policymakers on these issues and motivate them to take action for a truly clean and renewable energy future. This exciting position is fast-paced position and offers countless opportunities for skill building and development and is highly personally rewarding.
The Regional Field Coordinator is responsible for managing our field work around the Southeast. This includes coordinating five field organizers in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee and work around the following exciting campaigns and initiatives: Power Vote, green jobs, fighting new coal and nuclear plants, Power Shift 2009, supporting campus initiatives and state youth networks. It also includes representing our organization within the EAC and working on many of the campaigns and initiatives listed above at a national level in collaboration with our EAC partner organizations, and working with SEN’s Regional Director on regional program work as needed.
