[ES_JOBS_NET] Yakima Clean Air

[Jean Mendoza]

Dear Earth Sciences Jobs     I am
writing with a request for your help. Would you be willing to share this job
announcement with air quality specialists in your network? Job
Announcement – Air Pollution Control Officer/Executive DirectorYakima
Regional Clean Air Agencyhttps://www.yakimacleanair.org/notices/employment/job.html?jobid=19     The
previous Air Pollution Control Officer for the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency
resigned last October, and the agency is searching for a replacement. I
represent the Friends of Toppenish Creek, an environmental advocacy group in
Yakima County. We believe that the current search is too limited in scope. We
are working on recruiting a large pool of highly qualified applicants for this
position.      Yakima
County has serious air pollution problems, largely due to a heavy concentration
of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO dairies) in our community. The
population in the impacted area is about 80% Latino and about 25% speak little
English. Yakima County has suffered high rates of morbidity and mortality from
COVID 19 and there is sound research showing a correlation with poor air quality.      If you know
people who could lead the YRCAA into the future and effectively address our air
issues, would you please share this announcement with them?Thank you.Jean MendozaExecutive Director, Friends of Toppenish Creek
