Community Organizations Outreach Coordinator

What is the BC Wrongful Death Law Reform Society

‘In Their Name’ is the campaign of ‘The BC Wrongful Death Law Reform Society’. Our goal is to modernize British Columbia’s antiquated wrongful death legislation, which predates confederation (1846). Under current legislation, the value of a human life is measured only by the deceased’s future lost income, so long as they had dependents. All other provinces, including the Yukon have long since modernized. Only in BC is everyone’s life, except for breadwinners, worthless under the law. No “worth” means no “damages” to pursue in civil court. No “damages”, means no “justice”, and accordingly no accountability for wrongdoers.

Community Organizations Outreach Coordinator Duties

We are looking for candidate(s) to join our volunteer team, specifically to undertake the following:

#1 Leveraging spreadsheets and a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) to manage and engage with all existing non-profit organizations we have on file, and to discover and build relationships with newly discovered organizational contacts.

#2 Engaging with key non-profit organizational contacts. Providing educational background materials and demonstrating how legislative modernization would provide dignity and protections specifically for that organization’s membership base.

#3 Coordinating with organizations to sign on to a letter endorsing the modernization of BC wrongful death laws (with five key tenets about what needs to get done in the legislation)

#4 Coordinating live virtual events on Zoom with other non-profit organizations and leveraging the CRM system to increase attendance and engagement.

#5 Coordinating with other non-profit organizations’ marketing/communications teams. Acquiring logos and organization information for publishing on the coalition membership section of ‘In Their Name’ website + blog article announcement and posting to social media.

#8 Providing reporting to key stakeholders.
