For forty years, Forest Society of Maine has helped pioneer landscape-scale forestland conservation through the development and implementation of conservation easements to sustain the ecological, economic, cultural, and recreational values of Maine’s forests.
The next leader of FSM must be ready to join with the Board in pursuing strategic goals in land conservation and stewardship through a proven ability in strategic leadership, fundraising, program management and oversight, collaborative ventures, and constituency building.
The ideal candidate will have a background that includes a high-level of strategic leadership and management combined with an extraordinary understanding of relationship-driven philanthropy, partnership, and constituent management with an emphasis on understanding the unique culture of Maine landowners. Knowledge of forests and commitment to FSM's approach to sustaining them as they become increasingly recognized as globally significant is central to this role.
