NPN: Neighborhoods Partnership Network is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer, and we do not discriminate against employees or job applicants on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other status or consideration protected by local, state and federal laws, except where a bona fide occupational qualification applies. Equal opportunity applies to hiring, promotion, training, compensation, and any other organizational action.
An Observation on Fair Representation and Staff Development
Since the history of the U.S. is a history of institutional bias in favor of people who are white, it makes sense that NPN, and New Orleans in general, consider persons of color — especially African Americans - in leadership positions. New Orleans’ African American culture is so fragile right now, that the more African-American leaders in positions where they can speak out, act and organize the better.
NPN believes it is important to have leaders who are clear about the power dynamics affecting New Orleans, and who are principled in their values, so that their leadership will continue NPN’s commitment to neighborhood voices. We are looking for passionate, intelligent persons in general; but we wanted to make a statement that ALL candidates who apply should be sure to be persons steeped in (or willing to learn about) N’awlins history and culture, and cognizant of race relations in their work with neighborhoods, residents, and the New Orleans greater community.
