Envision Victor Project Coordinator Job Announcement

ENVISION VICTOR:
PROJECT COORDINATOR/CONTRACT POSITION
JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

Background
In January 2008, the Orton Family Foundation issued a Request for Proposals to select two communities in the Rocky Mountain region and two in the Northeast willing to undertake an innovative two-year project developing a “Community Heart & Soul” approach to planning. Based on Victor’s excellent application and a subsequent site visit by Foundation staff, the Foundation chose Victor as one of four Heart & Soul community projects.
Envision Victor is a partnership between the Orton Family Foundation, the City of Victor, Valley Advocates for Responsible Development, and Teton Valley Trails and Pathways. The project will ask all Victor residents to identify, articulate, and implement Victor’s Heart & Soul. Envision Victor will “go beyond land use and design, and toward our social fabric and how [to] create opportunities to grow a more economically, ecologically, and socially diverse community.” Envision Victor will also leverage the results from Victor’s Community Action Plan, ongoing work revising Victor’s Comprehensive Plan, and Victor’s EPA-funded Smart Growth Implementation Report, and other work completed by Victor’s citizens.


Coordinator Position
The Project Coordinator will be Envision Victor’s public face and main contact person for community members, local government, media, funders, and vendors. It will be a contract position starting in January 2009 and running through December 2011. We anticipate a time commitment of at least 20 hours per week. Expenses such as phone calls, mileage, and out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed at cost.

The Project Coordinator will contract directly with the Orton Family Foundation (Foundation) and will be supervised by the Orton Family Foundation and the Envision Victor Advisory Committee and will collaborate with the City of Victor, Valley Advocates for Responsible Development, and Teton Valley Trails and Pathways (Project Partners).
