IOAS Executive Director position

From the E.D. of IOAS:

After nearly 24 years working with IOAS and 11 years as Executive Director I have decided it’s time for me to step down and make way for a new incumbent. We plan to have somebody in place by January 1, 2025 and I will stay on until January 31, 2025 so it’s certainly not goodbye yet! 

For me it’s been an incredible journey and privilege to work with the IOAS team, seeing it grow from 3 people working only with IFOAM accreditation to now over 30 staff and engaged now with 80 CBs working directly with regulators and schemes focused on cosmetics and textiles as well as organic agriculture. I am truly proud of IOAS’ reputation as a somewhat unique ‘organic AB’, hard-working, expert, accessible, diverse, attentive to CB’s and scheme owners’ needs as well as tough. We are one of the best at what we do but still humble enough to want to do better. 

These years have brought me into contact with many wonderful people around the world, all of whom show incredible dedication to growing organic agriculture so thank you for sharing this journey. Given the amazing current IOAS Board, Committees and staff, I have absolutely no doubt that IOAS will go on from strength to strength and whoever takes over the helm at IOAS will be in an enviable position.

Finding the right person is now our task and one I would like to ask your help with. Today we have posted a call for applicants on the IOAS web site here. Please will you share this call around your network to help us find that person. If you, your colleagues or contacts need any further information about the role, please contact my colleague Isabella copied here.

Thanks for your help. My last international meeting will be at the IFOAM Organic World Congress in Taiwan in December 2024 so I hope to see some of you there.

Regards, 

David

MOFGA Certification Services, LLC (MCS) is hiring two (2) full time Organic Staff Inspectors

MOFGA Certification Services, LLC (MCS) is hiring two (2) full time Organic Staff Inspectors to join our team. MCS is a USDA-accredited organic certifier, certifying over 500 crop, livestock, and handling operations in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. This position is critical for conducting a large portion of MCS’ inspections (at least 100 annually) across all MCS programs. This work balances creating a positive experience for our clients while conducting rigorous audits of operations and their records for compliance.  

In addition, the staff inspector will be tasked with conducting unannounced inspections, pesticide residue sampling, and generating reports and other documents for MCS, as well as training, auditing, and evaluating inspectors in our inspector pool. During the slower inspection months (typically December-March), the staff inspector will assist other program areas, including administration and operations, inspection planning, and file review work. The staff inspector will be expected to perform a significant percentage of MCS annual inspections (one-fifth of total inspections annually, at least 100) across all of MCS’ programs.

This position requires travel within MCS’ service territory, overnight travel, off-site visits to clients, as well as office-based work. This position is required to be Maine or New Hampshire-based and the inspector will be able to work remotely from home. IOIA training (or equivalent) and prior organic inspection experience preferred. The staff inspector position is best suited for a candidate that is excited to travel, visit farms and operations, help improve MCS’ inspection program, and help strengthen the organic label by being an auditor. 

Visit our Employment Opportunities page for the full job description, benefits, and employment details.  Please send your cover letter and resume to certification@mofga.org. Priority will be given to candidates who apply before April 5, 2024.

GOTS Representative in North America, starting 2024

GOTS Representative in North America position, begins 2024, ¾ to full time, remote position. Full announcement posted here:https://global-standard.org/jobs/gots-representative-in-north-america 

Lori Wyman is retiring. About this position, she says, “It is possible for an inspector to work part time for GOTS and also still do a few inspections a month. GOTS does not however allow GOTS staff to work for a CB that does GOTS inspections, but plenty do not. My first three years with GOTS I still did 2-3 NOP processing inspections a month. Thus, I’m hoping you would be willing to share this opening with the IOIA membership. GOTS is very much aligned with NOP so it is not a big leap to learn the standard.”
