Executive Director Position Opening
Applications Being Accepted Until June 14, 2016


Dear Friend:

We want to let you know that American Trails is going through a major change. After serving for over 19 years as American Trails' Executive Director, Pam Gluck has decided to resign due to health challenges effective June 30, 2016. Pam has been the face of American Trails for a long time and has shepherded our organization from a mid-size trail advocacy association to a much larger organization that hosts the biennial International Trails Symposium, manages one of the world's largest online resources for trails (www.AmericanTrails.org), and advances and promotes trails for those that build, maintain, advocate for, use, and dream of them.

The Board and staff are grateful for Pam's years of dedicated service and are working closely with her to prepare for transition to new leadership.

About the Position 
The Executive Director is the Chief Executive Officer of American Trails and works with the Board of Directors, staff, and partners to provide the leadership and direction necessary to fulfill the mission and vision of American Trails and move the organization forward in its development. This position leads a dynamic enterprise of volunteers, staff, partners, and members dedicated to advancing trails and bringing trail enthusiasts of all types together to ensure the future quality and availability of trails for all Americans.
 
Location  
While the strong preference of the American Trails' Board would be to continue to have the Executive Director located at our home office in Redding, California, where the other staff members are working, for the right candidate, we would consider having the position located elsewhere.
 
How to Apply 
A detailed job description with application instructions is available on the American Trails website. The closing date to apply is June 14, 2016, 5:00 p.m. PDT. This position will remain open until filled.
