SCB SEEKS PARTNERSHIP FOR OFFICE SPACE

The Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) is a global professional organization dedicated to advancing the science and practice of conserving the Earth's biological diversity. To learn more about our organization please visit www.conbio.org. The organization was founded in 1985. In 2001, our Executive Office was established to manage the needs of our growing membership and well-known publications. Since then, our staff has expanded considerably. The Nature Conservancy has housed the Executive Office with an in-kind donation of office space since 2001, but no longer can accommodate our growth. Deepest thanks to The Nature Conservancy for their support during the initial years of the Executive Office.

The Executive Office currently includes eight full-time and two part-time staff in an 800 square foot office. We seek donated or reasonably priced space to better accommodate our current staff and allow for growth in the near term. We would be grateful to our friends and partners for assistance in our search for new office space. Below is a list of our needs for the next several years; some of these are flexible.

-- At least one and preferably multiple private offices that can accommodate a total of ten private workstations for full-time staff and an additional five to ten private or shared workstations for part-time staff and interns

-- A private or shared conference rooms for meetings

-- A storage area for marketing materials and so forth

-- Technological infrastructure to accommodate staff on high-speed internet on a local area network (SCB will provide computers and equipment)

-- Located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, accessible by Metrorail, and preferably in a LEED-certified building

-- Space may be furnished (preferred) or unfurnished

-- Security - preferably located in a secured building

If your organization is interested in partnering with or sponsoring our Executive Office, or if you know of another group that might be interested, please contact Kat Powers, Operations and Outreach Manager, 1 703 276-2384 x 100, kpowers@conbio.org; or Alan Thornhill, Executive Director, 1 703 276-2384 x 102, athornhill@conbio.org
