Welcome to the State Environmental Leadership Program
The State Environmental Leadership Program (SELP) is a staff-supported network of independent environmental activist organizations that focus on state level policy to preserve, protect and enhance the natural and human environment, and the health and quality of life for all people.
Our Mission:
SELP protects and restores America's environment by strengthening and networking smart, powerful and well run state environmental advocacy organizations.
Our Vision:
Every state will have at least one state policy organization that is smart, powerful and well run:
Smart: strategically guided; clearly defined and followed mission; active and engaged board; cultural competency
Powerful: no significant environmental decision is made in a state without our group’s knowledge and consent.
Well run: effective financial tools and management, effective personnel management tools, competitive staff compensation, diverse and stable funding.
"To achieve comprehensive improvements to environmental policies in America, you must have strong, state-focused environmental groups. SELP helps make that happen."
- Adam Snyder, Conservaion Alabama
2012 Salary and Benefits Survey
This year, SELP will be conducting our annual Salary and Benefits survey to help you find out detailed information about parental leave, sabbaticals, and health insurance in the workplace. In addition to providing insight into different office policies regarding types of leave and health benefits, this report will also help you compare your organization’s salary and benefits with others in the region and across the country doing similar work. This survey ensures that you can make salary and benefits decisions based on data from organizations that look a lot like yours: state-level environmental advocacy organizations.
The survey is available through March 7, 2012 and participating organizations will recieve a free copy of the report. Click here to participate.
