Board Member: Communications & Marketing Background - Disaster Accountability Project

DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems. DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief. Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated. Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities. Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) is seeking new Board members, particularly those with marketing and communications backgrounds. DAP is the only independent watchdog of disaster relief and humanitarian aid, involved in a range of advocacy to make sure preparedness works, relief is comprehensive, and recovery is responsive and accountable. DAP's focus is both U.S. and global, with the recent launch of SmartResponse.org to improve the effectiveness of disaster relief and humanitarian aid by helping donors identify the groups operating locally after disasters. Over 900 organizations from 60+ countries have already registered on SmartResponse.org, sharing information to expedite assistance and make aid efforts more effective and transparent. DAP's work receives frequent media coverage, including recent articles in the NY Times, Reuters, Miami Herald, Detroit News, and WNYC. Responsibilities and Qualifications
