After officially becoming a certified EcoDistrict this summer—a culmination of three years of visioning, planning, and convening hundreds of neighborhood stakeholders to craft a collective vision for Lloyd—we’re excited to bring on a new Executive Director to guide our organization in implementing our new 2030 Roadmap.

Executive Director Role The Executive Director (ED) is the key management leader of Lloyd EcoDistrict. The ED is responsible for leading the organization in a manner that guides and supports the organization’s mission and vision, including overseeing and managing the administration, fundraising, and strategic plan of the organization, and supporting the program staff.  The ED has a keen understanding that Lloyd EcoDistrict is focused on building a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient neighborhood, and that building meaningful programs, communications, and financial and community support are essential to this work. The ED reports to the Board of Directors.

About Lloyd EcoDistrict

Lloyd EcoDistrict is a small nonprofit with a big vision: to ensure the Lloyd neighborhood is one of the most sustainable neighborhoods in North America, and a leader in equity, resilience, and climate protection at the local level. Our mission is to engage the community, form partnerships, and develop programs that create a connected, prosperous, and resilient Lloyd.

Our programs range from placemaking (planting pollinator corridors; hosting park clean-ups; painting intersection murals), to resiliency (hosting emergency preparedness workshops; supporting houseless neighbors), to resource conservation and efficiency (supporting lighting retrofits and building performance benchmarking). The common thread: creating a more connected, prosperous, and resilient neighborhood for residents, employees, and visitors alike.

In 2022, we became a nationally certified EcoDistrict- the first in Oregon and the seventh in the world. This certification was the result of three years of visioning, planning, and convening hundreds of neighborhood stakeholders to develop a comprehensive 2030 Roadmap of our collective vision for urban and community development in the neighborhood.
