We view land not as a commodity to be sold on the open market for profit, but as a common resource to steward for future generations. We know that resource depletion and housing affordability are becoming serious problems, and the Evergreen Land Trust Association is one small part of a growing effort to find viable and ethical solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: inherit\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit\">ABOUT THE POSITION<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit\">The Board Administrator is responsible for supporting the governance work of the ELT Board of Directors.
