The position of Europe Policy & Advocacy Manager at Access Now is truly the best job in Brussels. All the pros: 1. hands down the best team in Brussels. In the policy team it's Caterina Rodelli Chiara Manfredini Daniel Leufer Eliška Pírková but you'll get to be in the same office with other amazing colleagues from all across the organisation and even other NGOs from the space. Hello European Digital Rights! 👋🏻 The regional work has grown a lot but you will still benefit from working together and learning from an amazing international team. In this category it's worth mentioning that being part of RightsCon on the organising side is a special experience. 2. The intellectual freedom of civil society is unique and I did work for both the public and private sector so I know the difference first hand. 3. While it's an NGO it is very mature organisationally and you can trust all the operational work that went into building it out thanks to Nina Komakhidze and others. Let's just say it explicitly too: Access Now's salaries are competitive. 4. Access Now has impact which matters for maintaining motivation. At least in Brussels it's very much part of the inside game but we are recognising and choosing more and more the outside game and ready to challenge the system. 5. The mission at the intersection of human rights and technology gives a very broad and exciting mandate. Future challenges: the organisation has grown a lot and there are lot of necessary and generational and structural changes that can be painful but should lead to something (even) better. As a natural consequence of this growth, there are some issues with messy roles, responsibilities and team structures on the international level. The co-founder executive director Brett Solomon is leaving after 15 years and a new ED will have a great impact on both the internal and external direction of the organisation. Finally, if this is such an amazing job why did I leave? Access Now has been home for almost 8 years and I became hungry for new challenges, new solutions and learning. And I would be lying if I didn't mention that there's not much left in me that believes in the European Union - in it's current form - as an institutional structure for systems change. It is a good time for someone else with new convictions, knowledge, drive and leadership skills to take over this position for the new EU mandate and beyond. I wish you nothing but joy and success and I'm here if anybody has any questions:) Apply!

This is an excellent way of increasing diversity on your board, add additional expertise and skills and also purposely enact succession planning. As a board you just need to be able to offer a constructive and supported learning experience for a less experienced governance professional. The applicants are of a very high calibre and if you have a recent skills matrix to hand that considers the next 18 months of strategic intent that can be part of the process. The IOD manage the process, present you with an award winning candidate and an independent mentor. What's not to love?

What if the nearly 30 million businesses in America (which control $32 trillion dollars of wealth) were disproportionately owned by Baby Boomers who have, or are, aging out of their businesses? - Oh, that’s right, that’s exactly where we are. What if those Boomers, or more notably, their business were adrift in a sea of like businesses creating a buyers market and a sellers nightmare? - Oh, that’s right, that’s exactly what they are experiencing right now. What if those Boomers required the sale of their business to fund their retirement and for their trusted employees to have a job to keep going to? - Oh, that’s right, data has demonstrated that 92% of business owners require the sale of their business to fund 60-100% of their retirement and obviously, if a business can’t be sold and closes, those employees, those hard working Americans, are out on the street. What if you, and ONLY you, could do something about this and in the process get a massive piece of both the benefits that only we can create and participate in the $32 trillion dollar transition of wealth (the LARGEST IN HUMAN HISTORY!) https://lnkd.in/gMi7FE5v

Earth Day kicked off on April 22, 1970, thanks to the efforts of Senator Gaylord Nelson, who wanted to boost environmental awareness after witnessing the ravages of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969. It was a time when cities were often blanketed in smog and polluted rivers caught fire. The first Earth Day was a game-changer. It united people from all walks of life in a massive push for green policies. It led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the passage of critical laws like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act in the United States. Today, Earth Day is a global event with over 1 billion people taking part in activities like planting trees, cleaning up litter, and advocating for policy changes to protect our environment. It's all about encouraging sustainable living and taking action to tackle climate change and protect the earth for future generations. It's a day to reflect on our planet's health and how we can all contribute to making it better. 🌱 Did you know that in polluted cities children are most likely to have asthma? Did you also know they have recently discovered microplastics in the human placenta? A study published in December 2020 found microplastic particles in the placentas of unborn babies. This research shed light on the concerning fact that microplastics, tiny particles of plastic, can reach and accumulate in the placenta, potentially impacting fetal development. What are some ways you protect the enviroment and how do you like to celebrate Earth Day? 🌎🌷 Looking to boost your tech team?
