About the organisation
Background
ALCA was formed in 2011 and is a membership-based network that brings together the Australian state-level land trusts and other major organisations working in land conservation. These organisations individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of local, national and international biodiversity conservation goals on private land. With private land playing an increasingly important role in the achievement of nature conservation in Australia, ALCA has a significant stake in, and can significantly contribute to, the delivery of conservation outcomes on private land. See www.alca.org.au
Since its inception, ALCA has represented and profiled its constituency in a number of ways by way of: providing policy advice and submissions on a range of issues such as climate, taxation, biodiversity and other land and water sector strategies and plans; providing fora for emerging issues such as conservation impact investment; undertaking research and project based initiatives; and, since 2014, convening an increasingly popular and well attended annual national private land conservation conference.
About the role
Position Purpose Statement
ALCA is now entering another phase of its growth with an ambitious Strategic Plan and the intent through peak body status to become an even more compelling representative of and advocate for private land conservation.
ALCA is therefore seeking to employ a high-performing chief executive who will over the next 3-5 years take ALCA to another level of profile and influence building and position ALCA as a key advocate for the sector.
The role of the CEO is to grow ALCA over those 3-5 years, working with the Board to achieve the next phase of development, and delivering on the Strategic Plan with a particular focus to:
- expand the membership base in order to more widely represent the interests of private land conservation;
- broaden the funding base to build an enduring and effective, financially sustainable organisation to deliver ALCA’s work into the future; and,
- drive ALCA’s leadership and engagement in the development of policies, programs and projects that align, coordinate and influence improved conservation outcomes on private land.
