7+ years
Full-Time
Charlottesville, VA, United States
09/30/2016
kstorer@selcva.org
The Southern Environmental Law Center is seeking an attorney to serve as Director of our
Virginia state office in Charlottesville. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the nation’s most
effective environmental advocacy organizations, and to lead an office addressing some of the
most important and challenging issues we face in the Southeast and the nation.
About the Virginia State Office and the Position: The Virginia state office is one of SELC’s
largest offices and houses 15 lawyers responsible for SELC’s work throughout Virginia, with
communications, IT, and administrative support.
The Virginia Office Director is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the office and its
success. This includes the full range of our legal and policy work in Virginia, and institutional
development and fundraising in Virginia. The Office Director reports to the Executive Director,
and works in close partnership with the Executive Director and Director of Development, both of
whom are located in the headquarters office in Charlottesville. The Office Director also is a
member of a seven-person staff Management Committee, which plays a central role in
coordinating and planning all organizational matters region-wide, including budgets, staffing
plans, and policies.
Responsibilities of the Virginia Office Director include:
 Developing, implementing, and leading the overall legal and policy program of the
office.
 Hiring and supervising attorneys and other Virginia staff.
 Serving as principal SELC spokesperson in Virginia and working closely with the
development and communications departments to strengthen and secure financial support
for the organization and deliver its messages to various audiences. This includes making
face-to-face calls to help build relationships and raise funds from individuals and
foundations.
 Representing SELC in collaborations with other organizations in Virginia and in other
institutional relationships.
Compensation: SELC offers a nationally competitive salary which is commensurate with
experience, plus an excellent benefits package.
Required Qualifications: We are seeking a talented, multifaceted lawyer who is a recognized
leader and manager capable of both steering our work internally and building positive
relationships with the environmental community, financial supporters, and key state leaders. The
ideal candidate will be an excellent lawyer with 10 or more years’ experience; significant
litigation, policy advocacy, and/or environmental practice experience; good presentation and
people skills; a strong personal commitment to SELC’s mission; and an understanding of the
region and its environmental challenges and opportunities.
SELC’s Organizational Structure: SELC employs a matrix approach that integrates regional
strategy and expertise with place-based action and results.
 Geographically, each state office sets priorities based on circumstances, events,
challenges, and opportunities within each state, developing an overall, comprehensive
approach to issues within the state.
 Regionally, SELC develops deep strategic and policy expertise and exercises regional
leadership on a range of program issue areas, including energy, air, water, mountains and
forests, coast and wetlands, and transportation and land use work to preserve the South’s
rural countryside and community character.
 Administratively, the organization is supported by departments based in the
Charlottesville headquarters office responsible for development & marketing and finance
& administration.
 Culturally, SELC is one organization, not just a collection of accomplished
individuals. Each office and program team has its own personality and style, but
teamwork and mutual support between offices and programs is SELC’s hallmark.
To Apply: If you have these qualifications and are seeking one of the most interesting,
challenging, and rewarding environmental advocacy positions available, please send your letter
of interest, résumé, law school transcript (with date of birth and social security number redacted),
and at least three references to Katie Storer, Southern Environmental Law Center, 201 West
Main Street, Suite #14, Charlottesville, VA 22902, or email to VAjobs@selcva.org. Please

About SELC: SELC is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. With nine offices across the
region (Charlottesville, VA; Chapel Hill, NC; Atlanta, GA; Charleston, SC; Washington, DC;
Birmingham, AL; Nashville, TN; Asheville, NC; and Richmond, VA), SELC is now widely
recognized as the Southeast’s foremost environmental organization and regional leader. SELC
works on the full range of environmental issues to protect the South’s natural resources and the
health and wellbeing of all of its people. Although its regional focus is the Southeast, much of
its work is national in scope and impact.
SELC works in Congress and state legislatures to inform environmental laws; in regulatory
agencies to implement environmental laws and policies; and in the courts to enforce the law, stop
the worst abuses, and set important precedents. The organization works collaboratively with
more than 100 national, state, and local groups to enhance their efficacy and achieve common
conservation goals. It currently has a staff of 130, with 68 attorneys, including some of the
nation’s leading experts in their respective fields.
SELC prides itself on collegiality, teamwork, and mutual respect among its staff and board. We
seek to work in the same manner in partnership with organizations, communities, and people of
all backgrounds that share our mission to protect the environment of the South. The South has a
rich natural diversity and an equally rich cultural diversity. To better fulfill its mission, SELC is
committed to broadening the diversity of its staff. We believe this will strengthen our
organization and our effectiveness in responding to the many environmental challenges affecting
the South and its people.
