About PHLP:
Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) pioneers innovative ways to leverage law and policy to improve public health. We provide practical legal and policy tools – including model laws and policies, fact sheets, FAQs, and toolkits, as well as tailored trainings and one-on-one consultation – to help make healthy communities the norm, not the exception.
PHLP’s staff attorneys, urban planners, and policy analysts partner with local, state, and national leaders to develop legal and policy solutions to public health challenges. Drawing upon an extensive network of scholars and scientists, PHLP identifies how law and policy can best influence health outcomes. We work with advocates, community leaders, health and planning agencies, public and private attorneys, and many others to develop practical tools accompanied by customized trainings and technical assistance. We capture and share the learning that comes from implementing new policy strategies in local communities and integrate these results to develop future solutions and support.
PHLP specializes in laws and policies that affect chronic disease with a particular focus on addressing health disparities in low income and communities of color. We are breaking new ground by creating land use, economic development, and redevelopment tools that can reshape urban and rural communities to improve health outcomes through the planning and development process. In many communities, the healthy choice is often not the easy choice – and we see law and policy as critical tools to ensure that all communities have access to safe, vibrant, and healthy environmentsplanning and development process.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EQUALITY CALIFORNIA
(San Francisco or Los Angeles, CA)
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA:
Founded in 1998, Equality California (EQCA) works to achieve equality and secure legal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Californians. EQCA conceives, drafts, and sponsors legislation and coordinates efforts to ensure its passage, lobbies legislators and other policy makers, builds coalitions, develops community strength and empowers individuals and other organizations to engage in the political process. Because of its work, EQCA has helped move California from a state with extremely limited legal protections for LGBT individuals to a state with some of the most comprehensive civil rights protections in the nation. In the past decade, EQCA has successfully passed more than 70 pieces of civil rights legislation for the LGBT community, more than any other LGBT organization in the nation. EQCA is committed to building a better future for all Californians by protecting youth, strengthening families and empowering communities. Each year, EQCA monitors thousands of bills and leads the state’s efforts to defeat legislation that could have a negative impact on LGBT Californians and their families. As a plaintiff and amicus in a number of cases on behalf of its members, EQCA has successfully defended California’s domestic partnership laws and related state policies that have been implemented in response to EQCA-sponsored legislation.
Affiliated Organizations:
Equality California Institute (EQCAI) educates LGBT people and the public at large about issues impacting the LGBT community and its allies. EQCAI empowers and organizes individuals, communities and allied groups to work proactively for fairness, equality and justice. EQCAI leads Let California Ring, a public education campaign to open hearts and minds about the freedom to marry, and the Equality Alliance, a broad coalition of LGBT and non-LGBT groups working together to further human rights. The Institute also directs the LGBT Health and Human Services Network and is a sponsor of the California Transgender Leadership Summit and Queer Youth Advocacy Day.
Equality California sponsors a Candidate Political Action Committee and an Issues Political Action Committee (EQCA PACs). EQCA Candidate PAC endorses fair-minded candidates and supports the campaigns of policy leaders who advocate for full equality for all Californians. The Candidate PAC is involved in campaigns for statewide elected officials, members of the California Legislature, members of the California Congressional delegation and judicial candidates throughout the state. EQCA Issues PAC supports ballot measure campaigns that promote the fair treatment of all Californians and opposes misguided efforts that could delay progress toward true equality. The PACs regularly communicate with EQCA members and encourage EQCA members to become actively engaged in political campaigns.
Although EQCA and EQCAI are separate entities with separate Boards of Directors, the Executive Director of EQCA (501c4) also serves as the Executive Director of EQCAI (501c3).

Executive Director for Rosie the Riveter Trust
Pt. Richmond, CA
OVERVIEW
The Board of Directors of Rosie the Riveter Trust is seeking a resourceful and visionary leader with successful experience in non-profit capacity building and a keen passion for historical preservation,particularly as it relates to conveying the story of the American home front during World War II. In partnership with the Board of this all-volunteer organization, the executive director will carry forward and build on Rosie the Riveter Trust’s ten-year record of accomplishments in stablishing and supporting projects and programs of the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. The executive director is expected to have the capacity to assess and develop new opportunities, implement change and carefully manage resources for long-term organizational sustainability and growth ABOUT ROSIE THE RIVETER TRUST. On October 25, 2000, President Clinton signed into law the legislation creating Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. This park was designed to recognize all those who toiled in the “arsenal of democracy” to ensure victory, and to particularly commemorate women’s contribution
to America’s home front effort. Richmond was chosen as the site to tell this story because it exemplifies the home front story. It housed over 50 war-related industries and has an unusually rich collection of industrial and community-based sites that were built for the war effort and remain intact. Richmond is also a microcosm of the social and economic changes that the World War II mobilization initiated and that are our legacy.
The Rosie the Riveter Trust (the Trust) is a cooperating association to the National Park Service. The Trust predates the formation of the Park, anticipating its inception by nearly a year. Since its founding, the Trust has assisted in funding the Rosie the Riveter Memorial dedication, launched and maintained a website, contracted for an oral history video, added park sites to the National Register of Historic Places, assisted in funding the expenses of numerous public meetings and workshops, and participated as a fiduciary agent and manager to develop an interpretive script. The Trust has supported Rosie’s Girls (a summer program for middle school students in collaboration with the YMCA), developed Richmond’s
annual community-wide Home Front Festival, and created a tradition of hosting an annual gala with a home front theme to raise funds and awareness. Since 2000, the Trust has raised over $5 million in grants and another $3 million in tax credit financing for projects and programs.
In early 2011, the Trust will open the Richmond Maritime Center, a war-era childcare center that the Trust has acquired and renovated through a public-private collaboration that included the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County, the local school district, and the Richmond Community Foundation. The Maritime Center will house a pre-school, a National Park Service interpretive site, a charter school,
and offices. It is the cornerstone project of a neighborhood development plan that is dramatically improving one of Richmond’s residential areas. The Maritime Center is operated by Richmond Maritime Center, Inc., a for-profit corporation wholly owned by Rosie the Riveter Trust.
Another major project is development of the national park’s Visitor Center, which will be located in a historic building on the Richmond waterfront. When the Visitor Center opens in early 2012, it will tell the World War II home front story through exhibits, films, and educational programs. The Trust is beginning to plan a museum store/gift shop that will be centrally located in the Visitor Center so park
visitors can take a reminder of their home front experience home with them.
The Trust is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors and had a 2010 annual operating budget of $3 million, including the Maritime Center grants and construction project. The Trust hired a consultant in June 2010, to serve as interim Executive Director and assist the Board in preparing for permanent staff.
There is a contracted bookkeeping service but no other staff employed with the Trust at this time.
