Subject: Job announcement at ISNA Campaign Against Anti-Muslim Bigotry
Job Title: Campaign Director for the Multi-Religious Campaign Against Anti-Muslim Bigotry
Company: Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)
Location: ISNA Office for Interfaith & Community Alliances, Washington, DC
Job Type: Full-time
Background:
On September 7, 2010, senior religious leaders gathered at an Emergency Interfaith Summit in Washington, DC to make a clear statement to the public that anti-Muslim bigotry is morally wrong and debases essential American values. They called upon America to seek its higher ideals by ending anti-Muslim bigotry.
As a continuation of this effort, The Multi-Religious Campaign Against Anti-Muslim Bigotry (The Campaign) was created as a one-year initiative led by approximately 25 faith-based organizations. It seeks to not only continue the national witness and work that began on September 7, but also to broaden and deepen the work of religious communities to end anti-Muslim bigotry through congregations and at state and community organizations. In addition, it will expand this work internationally by making a clear statement to both the Muslim world and the international community as a whole that religious communities in the United States are committed to ending anti-Muslim bigotry.
The Campaign seeks a Campaign Director for a one-year period, January 1 – December 31, 2011. Salary is commensurate with experience. Benefits including health care are also provided.
The Responsibilities of the Campaign Director will include:
Qualifications:
· A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience (required).
· Minimum 5 years experience in project coordination among diverse partners and conference planning.
· Excellent communication and organization skills.
· Ability to coordinate work on multiple projects concurrently.
· Ability to commit for one year (2011).

· Experience working in or around Muslim communities (preferred).
· Experience working with a national organization (required).
· Computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel), electronic calendar, and email communication (required).
· Experience in maintenance of basic web content (preferred).
The Campaign Director will be a member of the staff of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and will consequently be accountable to ISNA’s human resources policies. At the same, the Campaign Director is responsible to the Steering Committee and its Executive Committee for the program and work of The Campaign, and will implement all major programs as directed by the Executive Committee.
