CEO search move into the next phase of promoting and publicizing the
position. Larry Slesinger will be promoting it on his website and through
various channels, but he needs our help to make sure we are reaching the

the executive team are just now seeing the job description for the first
time ourselves.

*NatureServe* in* Arlington, Virginia* has retained Slesinger Management
Services to recruit a dynamic, visionary, and innovative leader with
experience in biodiversity and conservation to serve as *President and CEO*.

NatureServe is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to
provide the scientific basis for effective conservation action. Through a
network of more than 80 programs, mostly housed with state or provincial
government agencies and universities throughout the United States and
Canada, as well as in Latin America, NatureServe collects and analyzes data
about the plants, animals, and ecological communities of the Western
Hemisphere.

NatureServe currently has a staff of 75 and a budget of $8 million. Revenue
comes primarily from government grants and contracts, grants from
foundations, donations from individuals, and member dues and fees.

The President and CEO should be:

   1. Knowledgeable about biodiversity and conservation, either
   professionally or through significant volunteer activity.
   2. Committed to the mission of NatureServe and its focus on data and
   science to inform policy makers. An advanced degree in science is
   desirable, but not required since the essence of this job is to lead and
   build an organization, where a wide range of leadership and management
   skills are paramount.
   3. Able to raise money from the broad array of funders who can support
   NatureServe
