systems for tracking and building on our work.

Campaign strategy: Develop plans to win on our environmental campaigns. Assess

opportunities for building political support for our agenda through coalition-building, grassroots

building and demonstrating support for our positions.

campaigns.

Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with

large donors, all to bring more resources to campaigns we're waging to protect our environment.

Work with our citizen outreach staff to build and develop our membership base.

and build our power.
