Organization Overview:
The Virginia League of Conservation Voters (Virginia LCV) works to turn conservation and environmental values into state and local priorities. Virginia LCV advocates for sound environmental laws and policies, holds elected officials accountable for their votes and actions, and strives to elect a majority of state legislators who will champion our priority issues.

Virginia LCV’s work to protect and advocate for conservation and the environment reflects the organization’s commitment to racial, social and environmental justice. We aim to create a workplace culture and policies and practices that demonstrate how we value equity and inclusion.

Position Summary:

Strategic event planning and execution is a key responsibility of this position, to include rallies, town hall-style meetings and roundtables with elected officials and decision makers, and community engagement events. These events are being held on digital platforms and in person when it is safe to do so.

The NOVA Organizer plays a key role in building and maintaining our relationships within the environmental coalition, ensuring strong collaboration and that our efforts align with coalition strategy, and are well coordinated and complimentary to those of our partners.

This position works closely with and reports to the Statewide Field Manager.
