into its second decade.
The mission of the Coalition is to educate the public and government officials about the importance of open government, to advocate access to local and state governments, to monitor access issues, to lobby lawmakers on issues related to freedom of information (within IRS limits), and to be a resource for the public, the press and the government on access-related issues.
The executive director is responsible for leading the Coalition's programs of
education, lobbying and fund-raising. He or she must also manage an annual budget
and an endowment fund. The executive director must also oversee an interactive
Web site and daily listserv, supervise a part-time assistant and produce a newsletter

The executive director will also be expected to help the Coalition anticipate emerging issues and devise strategies to address them, to broaden and increase the Coalition's membership and to raise funds.
It is important that the new executive director be a visionary capable of coordinating the open government efforts of affiliate constituencies and developing a strategy for continuing the Coalition's goals in education, lobbying and financial security.
Candidates must have bachelor's degrees in journalism, communication, government, business or related fields and an employment history that reflects compatibility with the mission of the Coalition. An advanced degree is desirable.
