About the Position :
The VISTA Collaboration Specialist position is based at the New Mexico Forest & Watershed Restoration Institute (NMFWRI) in Las Vegas, NM.
The NMFWRI’s mission is to promote adaptive management practices and to reduce the risk of high-intensity, catastrophic wildfires and other disturbances in New Mexico’s forests.

Capacity building focuses on developing financial resources, increasing local knowledge about effective collaborative techniques, and training local residents in collaborative skills, including facilitation and mediation, conflict resolution, problem solving, leadership, active listening, and effective communication.
All of this contributes to the creation of local restoration-based economic development, offering new opportunities to residents in the forestry sector and reducing poverty in rural New Mexico towns and villages.
VISTA Collaboration Specialist will take a lead role in continuing the organization regional networks of CBCC groups to build collaborative capacity and promote adaptive management practices.
The job requires some travel to CBCC meetings and training sessions, or work through videoconferencing software. The VISTA Collaboration Specialist will also promote a restorative economy locally and statewide, engaging in hands-on economic development in rural communities.
