Take Back California is a nonprofit promoting clean-money elections. I’m on its advisory board and the Executive Director is my friend and colleague Dan Newman. They are currently searching for a part-time or full-time Development Director:
The Development Director is responsible for building, leading and growing the development functions of TakeBackCA.org.
