About the Organization

With a mission to empower the North Olympic Peninsula to pursue and invest in its own economic and environmental destiny, the North Olympic Peninsula Resource Conservation & Development Council (NODC) is the regional Economic Development District for Clallam and Jefferson counties. Located on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, NODC works to develop a thriving, resilient region by producing a comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS), convening discussions and planning responses to regional issues, supporting economic development in key sectors and implementing collaborative projects.

About the Position

The majority of NODC’s budget comes from federal and state grants, requiring careful financial management, procurement and reporting to adhere to contractual and regulatory requirements. NODC is a partner in the North Olympic Peninsula Recompete Coalition, which is one of only 6 applicants in the country to receive a 5-year, $35 million grant award from the Economic Development Administration’s Recompete Pilot Program. NODC is managing the Tribes and Underserved Communities project within the regional Recompete effort and will be making sub-awards totaling $7.25 million to the Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, Makah, Quileute and Hoh Tribes and the City of Forks. This will significantly increase the administrative and compliance burden, requiring creation of this new grant administration position.
