Continuing request: CONTACT DATABASES FOR ORGANIZATIONS EMPLOYING PROFESSIONALS IN NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT & FORESTRY IN THE USA FOR USE IN A FREE* GUIDE TO EMPLOYMENT. Hello; I am in the process of collecting EMPLOYER information in order to rewrite and update the following widely distributed, free publication of the US Forest Service (USDA) and US-AID: Resch, T., and M. G. Porter. 1992.The Job Seekers Guide to Opportunities in Natural Resource Management for the Developing World. 3rd. Edition. USDA (USFS-IF & OICD), and USAID. 32 p. This guide has been enormously popular, both nationally and internationally, and successful in providing employment source information to recent graduates and professional seeking new positions in Natural Resources Management and Forestry. This guide, last published in July, 1992, now is somewhat dated and limited in scope. In order to update the publication and enhance its value, I am seeking help in obtaining information about agencies, organizations, institutions, NGOs, and companies, etc. in the US (or US companies overseas) which hire professionals with skills in NRM & Forestry. It is understood that both fields are either multi-disciplinary or inter-disciplinary and focused or broad in application. Hence, employment opportunities would range from work for wood fiber chemists, timber certification specialists, and tropical forest conservation ecologists, to that for consultants aiding a developed nation in management of potable water sources. If you have any databases, even those listing a few companies, or know of their existence, I would be very grateful for e-mail ASCII files, diskettes, and or other contacts who might have databases. The more information in the database, the better Information required would include the following: Organization name Full Address Chief Officer Chief of Personnel Primary contact for employment Primary contact for scientific information Phone, FAX, E-mail for contacts Nature of business (General, and specific) Size of company (number of employees - non-professional vs professional) A summary statement for the company A summary of the activities of the organization Disciplines in which people are employed (normally) Turn-over rate? Years of operation Budget Other voluntary information NOTE (copyright, credit, etc.): Credit will be provide to individuals/organizations, etc. donating contact databases. All information, when published, will be in the 'public domain' (i.e., not protected by copyright). No database will be used verbatim unless requested. Thank you to all who have or will taken time out of their schedules to dig out contact databases or just send in information about this or that organization. It is appreciated very much. However, I am still in need of more contacts in order to find employers missed by Taft Group and other employment database publications. PLEASE SEND FILES, INQUIRIES TO ME, NOT THE GROUP Thank you for your help :) * This guide book will be published by the USFS. Anticipate about 6 months before it is avaliable and then phone, FAX, or write to the following address for a free copy: U.S. Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture International Forestry Division 1049 14th St. N.W. Franklin Court Bldg.
