Two new openings: April 2013
Community Capital Seminar Series Producer
In 2013, Seattle Good Business Network is producing CommCap Seattle, a year-long event series designed to educate, connect, and spark dialogue around the emerging field of community capital. The series will explore pioneering efforts and identify the most promising strategies to increase local investment, including community supported enterprises, triple bottom-line banking and credit unions, slow-money investing, cooperatives, lending circles, local investment clubs, direct public offerings, crowdfunding, and more. We seek a part-time, contract project manager to develop and produce CommCap Seattle. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-starting and outgoing project manager with experience and interest in the local economy, community development, and convening events. Application deadline is April 26th. See the full position description and how to apply here (pdf).
