Join the Stewardship Council this winter and spring as an Event Planner! Applications for this contracted position welcome until January 31st, 2022.
Background:
In March 2019, U.S. Congress designated seven rivers within the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. As a result, the Stewardship Council formed as a multi-stakeholder group with representation from 12 towns within the watershed. The Stewardship Council works to preserve, protect, and enhance the special environmental, cultural, and recreational values of the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed. This includes hosting interactive, educational, and celebratory events to highlight the importance of these valuable resources.
About this position:
The Stewardship Council seeks an experienced and enthusiastic Event Planner to assist the Council in developing, coordinating, and implementing a watershed-wide signature event. This umbrella-event consists of many small, river-related activities taking place in many towns within one weekend. The event planner will coordinate with local groups to develop and host events to celebrate the Wood-Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic Rivers.
Timing:
The signature event is scheduled to occur June 25-26, 2022. Applications welcome before end of day January 31st, 2022. This position is scheduled to begin in February 2022 and end in early July 2022.
