TRU’s long-time leader, Katie Wilson, will be leaving her role by the end of this year. We are excited to begin the process of hiring for a new full-time staff position!* You can find all the details here. Please apply if you are interested, and share widely.
* A little more context: Katie has long held two official positions in TRU. She’s been our General Secretary, serving as an elected officer (and board member), a position similar to president. And she’s been our Campaign Coordinator, a paid staff role responsible for working with the membership and with allies to carry out TRU’s campaigns and projects. Together these roles have been much like an executive director position at a more traditional nonprofit. Moving forward, we are separating the (volunteer) elected role from the paid staff role, but also want to recognize that the paid staff role includes many responsibilities beyond coordinating campaigns. For that reason, we are calling the new role General Manager (if Metro has one, why can’t we?).
