NOTICE OF VACANCY

NATIONAL ROUND TABLE ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECONOMY

Chairperson (part-time position)

In the months and years ahead, the integration of environmental conservation, economic development and sustainability will be a top priority for all countries. Since its establishment in 1988, the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) has focused on just that. The NRTEE is an independent advisory body reporting to Parliament through the Minister of the Environment. The purpose of the Round Table, according to the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy Act of 1993, is “to play the role of catalyst in identifying, explaining and promoting, in all sectors of Canadian society and in all regions of Canada, principles and practices of sustainable development.”

As an independent advisory body, the NRTEE examines the environmental and economic implications of priority issues and offers its advice on how to address them. The advice is primarily directed to the federal government, but also targets other levels of government and key sectors of the economy in order to influence policy development and decisions.

The NRTEE’s independence, credibility, and high-profile expert members have helped to draw upon a wide range of stakeholders in fostering a national discourse on environmental and economic issues. A coalition builder between environment and economic sustainability, and an advocate for positive change, the NRTEE helps by reaching out to organizations, sparking creativity and generating the momentum needed for success.

As Chairperson, you will preside at meetings of the Round Table and shall perform such other duties and functions as are imposed, or exercise such powers as are conferred, by or under the by-laws or resolutions of the Round Table. Appointed by the Governor in Council on the advice of the Minister of the Environment, you will work closely with the President and Chief Executive Officer on a range of issues, including those of a strategic nature, member engagement, and planning for meetings. Your responsibilities include providing strategic direction and advice to the Round Table and guiding members in their deliberations to ensure that the Round Table fulfils its mandate; acting as the principal spokesperson for the Round Table on substantive matters, and appearing on its behalf at official occasions and in other venues; and liaising with key stakeholders in the public, private and non-government sectors to increase the awareness and influence of the Round Table. To this end, the President and members will seek your counsel, objectivity and commitment to research integrity.

The selected candidate must have a university degree or an acceptable equivalent combination of education, experience and training, and a demonstrated track record of leadership. Experience in the area of sustainability policy and related issues, as well as experience interacting with government, preferably at both the ministerial and senior departmental levels, are required. The successful candidate must have experience in working with, and building consensus among, colleagues from a broad range of different perspectives.

The chosen candidate must have knowledge of, and an appreciation for, the range of issues impacting sustainability from all perspectives, particularly environmental and economic perspectives, as well as knowledge of the mandate, history and operations of the NRTEE. Knowledge of the machinery and work of government, as well as knowledge of policy development, is also necessary.

The ability to lead an organization at a national level with an appreciation for regional concerns is essential. The ideal candidate must also be able to manage meetings effectively and to think strategically. The preferred candidate must also have the ability to develop effective working relationships with Ministers and their offices and senior government officials, as well as key decision-makers in other sectors. Excellent presentation and communication skills, both written and oral, with an ability to represent the organization in a professional manner at the most senior levels, are required, as well as the ability to inspire and motivate groups to have an impact through their work.

The ideal candidate must have an open and objective approach that values evidence-based methods and sound research. He or she should also demonstrate respect for different points of view and the value of consensus building and facilitation in the decision-making process as well as the desire to help drive change that is in the best interest of the public.

Proficiency in both official languages is preferred.

The successful candidate must be willing to travel across Canada.

The Government is committed to ensuring that its appointments are representative of Canada’s regions and official languages, as well as of women, Aboriginal peoples, disabled persons and visible minorities.
