[SEMCO] Extraordinary Leadership Opportunity in Maine Coastal Fisheries

[Judith McDowell]

*Penobscot East Resource Center Seeks Executive Director*

Penobscot East Resource Center (PERC) was founded on the principle that 
the only way the resources of the oceans can be protected and sustained 
is through joint stakeholder stewardship: collective action of fishermen 
and their communities, supported by science and working in combination 
with regulatory authorities at all levels.  PERC’s fundamental mission 
is to support, develop and carry out such strategies, with the 
overriding goal of securing a sustainable future for fisheries and 
fishing communities of coastal Maine. By doing so PERC also intends to 
create models that may be adapted for use by others across the nation 
and the globe.

PERC is a 13 year-old organization in Stonington, Maine with an annual 
budget nearing $2 million, dedicated staff of 12, and engaged Board of 
Directors. PERC seeks a visionary and inspiring person to lead the 
organization into the future. Understanding of and respect for fishermen 
and rural communities is essential.  Sophisticated executive capacities 
are vital to deepen engagement with fishermen, community members, 
educators, scientists, and regulatory agencies, as well as individual 
donors and foundation and government funders. Advocacy for PERC’s 
mission, vision and goals will be tireless, from the local café to the 
statehouse to the White House.
