The Arizona Democracy Collaborative (AZ/DC) seeks a Director to coordinate the Collaborative and grow democracy reform capacity in the State. We are seeking a Director that is committed to social justice reform, has democracy reform experience at the local/state level, has an ability to work on national reform, and is a long-term strategic thinker who can balance the priorities of multiple organizations working towards shared goals.
ABOUT THE ARIZONA DEMOCRACY COLLABORATIVE
In 2018, six local community partners came together to form AZ/DC, a new hub for long-term strategic planning around democracy reform in Arizona, with the goal of defending and strengthening Arizona’s democracy through policy change, organizing, and public education. AZ/DC membership includes All Voting is Local, Arizona Advocacy Network Foundation, Arizona Center for Empowerment, Arizona Coalition for Change, Chispa Arizona, Mi Familia Vota, and State Innovation Exchange.
At its core, the AZ/DC ensures that communities most impacted by systemic attacks on their right to vote and participation in our democracy are centered in structural reform efforts in Arizona. The AZ/DC exists to pave the way for short and long term democracy reforms to be directed by community groups that are most intimately involved in the practice of lifting up civic engagement in marginalized communities and are therefore best equipped to confront the harmful issues ingrained in our current democratic structure.
Strong applicants will have a demonstrated commitment to equity, inclusive democracy reform efforts,working alongside impacted communities, and engaging in long term strategic planning . AZ/DC encourages applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status, and record of arrest or conviction.
While the position would be housed in the Arizona Advocacy Foundation, the AZ/DC Director would report and be accountable to a shared management structure that consists of staff from the AZ/DC membership.
