Opportunity Type: Full-time
About the Organization:
The Committee to Protect Medicare (CTP) is a national issue-advocacy organization seeking to achieve health coverage policy wins at the state level & achieve universal health care at the federal level. Through a network of organized physicians prepared to engage in public advocacy and media appearances, CTP amplifies and highlights health care policy's most trusted messengers - physicians and front line medical workers - to advocate for health care protection and progress.
About the Position:
The Committee to Protect Medicare is searching for a Regional Organizer to help expand the organization's membership and build advocacy capacity at the state level. The Regional Organizer will focus on transforming states from a loosely networked group of physicians and frontline medical workers to a highly organized and disciplined group of communicators.

These organizers, at the direction of the Program Officer, will help produce the communication and organizing capacity to scale the recruitment, coaching, structure building, and resourcing for Physician State Leads - ensuring that those who are recruited and trained have sufficient support to be successful while marrying the world of medicine and policy with the arena of public education and advocacy. Physicians recruited and organized by the regional organizer must provide some combination of time, talent, or treasure to aid CTP in achieving its long- and short-term organizational goals. Examples of physician-engagement include doing local and statewide media appearances, participating in organized press events, drafting op-eds and letters to the editor, and contributing financially to the organization.
