Description
The Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) is a peer-to-peer network of local government professionals from cities across the United States and Canada dedicated to creating a healthier environment, economic prosperity, and increased social equity. Our dynamic network enables sustainability directors and staff to share best practices and accelerate the application of good ideas across North America.
USDN is a project of the Global Philanthropy Partnership (GPP).
Our work is member led and member driven, meaning that members collectively determine what priorities they have each year and lead the work to carry them out. A Planning Committee serves as USDN’s governing body, with responsibility to advance the strategic direction of the network. Members are fortunate to be supported by a Managing Director and staff who provide high-level leadership and day-to-day management.
USDN’s ultimate goal is to build and strengthen the connections between members in order to quickly access each other’s knowledge and expertise to achieve better, more effective outcomes at scale. The connections members forge lead to collaborations that foster innovative urban sustainability solutions.
USDN accomplishes its goal by offering members peer-to-peer networking opportunities, creating solutions that scale through a funded collaborative innovation system, and expanding access to best practices and addressing region-specific issues through regional sustainability director networks formed by members.
Position Overview:
The Managing Director is responsible for running the operations of the USDN while sustaining high member satisfaction, facilitating peer exchange and collaboration, shaping and supporting the strategic decisions of the network, enlisting the talents of members to address common problems and opportunities, and fostering high value relationships with external partners for member collaborative projects.
