The Drug Policy Alliance has an immediate opening for a Conference and Events Manager reporting directly to the Managing Director, Finance & Administration.

The conference and events manager is responsible for the logistics, management, and production of Drug Policy Alliance events. This position works in close cooperation with members of the Policy Team, Communications Team and Development department.

 

Drug Policy Alliance

The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is the nation's leading organization of people who believe the war on drugs is doing more harm than good.  In its vision of the future, individuals will not be punished simply for what they put into their bodies, only for harm done to others.  DPA fights for drug policies based on science, compassion, health and human rights and seeks to promote dialogue on cutting-edge drug policy issues around the country. Its work spans issues from ending marijuana prohibition and promoting more honest and effective drug education to reducing the many harms of drug use and drug laws.  DPA works to ensure that our nation's drug policies no longer arrest, incarcerate, disenfranchise and otherwise harm millions of nonviolent people, especially people of color.

DPA's work encompasses a wide array of policy issues, including:

• Sentencing reform and alternatives to incarceration


Harm reduction (HIV, hepatitis C and overdose prevention)


Ending marijuana prohibition, marijuana decriminalization, medical marijuana


Drug education, youth and drugs


Race and the drug war


Effective drug treatment


Civil liberties and rights


International drug control


Alternatives to prohibition and pragmatic steps for ending the drug war

 

In the last 14 years, DPA has expanded from its New York headquarters to include eight offices, 60 plus staff, an annual operating budget of approximately $12 million, 35,000 dues-paying members and more than 250,000 online subscribers.  It has a solid track record of success at the local, state, and federal levels and consistent visibility in prominent media and policy circles.
