The National Recycling Coalition (NRC)—a non-profit organization that is focused on the promotion and enhancement of recycling in the United States—continues to seek interested candidates to serve as its Executive Director.

During the 2016 Annual Resource Recycling Conference in New Orleans, the NRC Board of Directors adopted and presented the NRC Strategic Plan to its’ membership. This plan helps to guide the NRC in accomplishing four major goals:

- Build stronger Recycling Organization Affiliate partnerships,
- NRC is seen as the reasoned voice on policy issues,
- NRC builds a sustainable/expanding membership, diverse funding and ensures its health and vitality.
To accomplish these strategic goals, the NRC desires to hire an Executive Director to represent the organization, address national recycling issues, raise the funds necessary to accomplish its mission, expand the NRC membership, and build a stronger voice through the organization’s partners.
Are you the right person for this mission? Are you ready to be a national voice for recycling? Can you raise funds for the mission of the NRC? Can you travel on behalf of the NRC? If so, the NRC needs your service! Please review the following position announcement.
Although this is initially proposed as only a six-month contract, we expect that the right candidate will enable NRC to continue and expand upon this level of commitment thereafter.
