Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director has overall management responsibility for Allegheny Mountain Institute’s staff, programs, finances, fundraising, execution of its mission and strategic planning. The AMI Executive Director must hold the organization’s vision of a thriving network of collaborative, vibrant communities who value the connection between food and health.

Applicants resumes should display clear evidence of being a capable leader, organizer and motivator of groups of people. A strong commitment to regenerative agriculture, healthy food systems, and conservation is expected.
