Senior Communications StrategistThe Solutions Project is scaling its support for climate justice.
We’re moving millions of dollars to frontline organizations and inspiring millions of people through media coverage of community solutions. Gloria Walton seeded our bold vision when she served as a board member. In 2020 Gloria joined the staff as CEO and shortly thereafter Shalanda Baker, our Board Chair joined the Department of Energy.
We celebrate these transitions and now is the time to build the board to support the organization’s next five years of innovation and impact. We are currently putting together a process for recruitment that will reflect our 100% Commitment to Justice with majority women of color leadership by 2023.
We are building our board! Check back for more info about our recruitment process.
