C MEP
Launches Search for Director
~ April 23, 2007~
At the end of 2007, I will retire from
Churches for Middle East Peace. The CMEP
Board is busy preparing for the
transition and has prepared the job
description posted below. We encourage
you to bring this opportunity to the
attention of potential applicants. The
deadline for applications is June 30, by
email to jobs@cmep.org.
I began working for the church coalition
in July of 1986, nearly 21 years ago,
and have participated in CMEP's growth
in membership to include Catholic
organizations and Orthodox churches and
growth in influence among Washington
policymakers. In spite of many setbacks
and violent tragedies, I remain
optimistic that Israeli-Palestinian
peace can be achieved and that the CMEP
coalition of churches has an essential
role in pressing our government toward
constructive policies.
Being Director of CMEP
is a wonderful experience of
collaborative work with deeply committed
people and the opportunity to be an
advocate for peace and justice. I look
forward to these final months of my
service to CMEP and will join with you
in welcoming the incoming Executive
Director.
Sincerely,
Corinne Whitlatch
Executive Director
