About Us: Since 2007, Third Millennium Alliance (TMA) has worked tirelessly together with local communities, conservation partners, scientists, and international supporters to protect and restore one of the most endangered tropical forests on the planet – the Pacific Forest of Ecuador. With nearly 4,000 acres of Ecuadorian forest currently under management, including the Jama-Coaque Ecological Reserve, TMA has developed an innovative approach to conservation. TMA's community-based rainforest conservation efforts are centered around three interconnected programs: ecosystem preservation, forest restoration, and community development. Together, these programs create a holistic and sustainable approach that maximizes benefits for both people and the planet. 

Why Join the TMA Board of Directors?
Support the worldʼs most biodiverse ecosystem and help combat global climate change by joining TMA's pioneering effort to protect and restore tropical rainforests in Ecuador using a combination of land purchase, community development, and an innovative economic incentives program structured around shade-grown cacao (i.e. chocolate). With an 18-year track record of transformative social and environmental impact, we're now poised for exponential growth and seeking visionary leaders to amplify our impact and shape a more sustainable future - will you join us?

Who we are looking for
We seek energetic, dynamic, and purpose-driven individuals with a deep passion for environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and climate action. Ideal candidates should bring a genuine commitment to these issues and a willingness to leverage their experience and skill sets to make a long-lasting impact.
A strong understanding of the philanthropic landscape, particularly among high-net-worth individuals and foundations interested in global conservation efforts, is key to helping expand our fundraising efforts. Experience developing communication strategies is also valued to grow our network.

We are open to candidates from around the world. In particular, we seek candidates with skills in: Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Financial Management, Marketing, Social Media, Communications, PR, Sales, and/or Business Development.

Expectations for Selected Board Members We are open to board members participating fully remotely. We typically hold all meetings digitally via Zoom. We encourage all board members to visit the project site in the rainforest of Ecuador at least once during their first year for an in-person board retreat and planning session, but it isn't mandatory for all members. In addition to the quarterly board meetings, occasional committee meetings are scheduled to address specific tasks, but these meetings are virtual and tend to be shorter.
Board members are expected to make a personally meaningful financial contribution, but there is no set amount.

Our Inclusivity Commitment

At TMA, we value diverse perspectives and recognize the strength that comes from diversity. We especially encourage candidates with Latin American origins or substantial regional experience to apply/ nominate. Your unique background and insights will contribute to a richer, decolonial, and holistic approach to our conservation efforts. Please note that TMA is a nonprofit foundation, and this position is voluntary.

Thank you for considering joining TMA to help write the next chapter in the conservation of the Pacific Forest!
