Current need
Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is looking for a volunteer specialist in project and group development to support development of projects and teams in four cities.
Context
A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region where people and organizations cooperate to achieve sustainability. BEC initiatives do this with projects for engagement. These currently take place in Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
BECC is a national network that supports development of these and future BEC initiatives. It has an elected board and is a registered charity. For more information see BioEcoCity.org
Six BEC projects are underway in the four newer cities (all but Ottawa) of the national network. Projects are progressing, but guidance from a specialist would help meet project goals quicker. Also, it is hoped that the projects will lead to more permanent structures (committees, councils, or boards) for BEC work in those cities. Advice on how to do this would be very useful. In addition, the teams would benefit from training on fundraising, networking and development of partnerships.
The BEC Development Volunteer would be a non-voting member of the BECC board. This person could later become a voting member if elected at an annual general meeting.
Roles of BEC Development Volunteer
