How to Apply for Outreach Director – Western Region

at Center for US Global Leadership

🏢 About Center for US Global Leadership

The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) is a unique bipartisan network that brings together diverse leaders from business, national security, faith communities, and academia to advocate for strategic investments in diplomacy and international assistance. What makes USGLC distinctive is its ability to bridge political divides and mobilize influential voices across all 50 states to strengthen America's global leadership through smart foreign policy.

About This Role

As Outreach Director for the Western Region, you'll develop and execute a multi-state educational and outreach strategy across nine western states, building coalitions of influential leaders to support USGLC's congressional engagement goals. This role is impactful because you'll directly shape how key western states understand and advocate for America's global leadership, managing a regional team while implementing events and educational activities that drive policy change.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with your Texas/Colorado/New Mexico Outreach Director, planning virtual or in-person events with business and faith leaders in western states, developing educational materials for advisory councils, and tracking congressional engagement opportunities across the nine-state region. You might spend your morning strategizing outreach for Arizona, your afternoon preparing briefing materials for Utah business leaders, and your evening connecting with military veterans in Washington state.
