Country Director Positions With Peace Corps

Date: July 18, 2002
To: NPCA members
From: Office of Overseas Executive Selection and Support (OESS)
Re: Application Period Open for Country Directors Worldwide

Peace Corps is currently recruiting candidates for Country Director (CD) positions to be filled in the period fall 2002 - winter 2003. Go to Peace Corps' website for more detailed information and for the application itself, http://www.peacecorps.gov. Applicants will need to complete three documents: Country Director Application and Selection Criteria, Form 256 (Self-Identification of Handicap) and Form 181 (Race and National Origin Identification).

Country Directors serve at the discretion of the Peace Corps Director and are the senior agency officials overseas who are responsible for the overall management and direction of all aspects of Peace Corps programs in country. CD candidates must be US citizens, have not been associated with certain intelligence activities, and must have demonstrated excellence in managing a program or organization of comparable size to a Peace Corps post (10 to 40 staff, 50 to 225 Volunteers, an annual operating budget ranging from $500,000 to $4,000,000).

We are seeking top candidates to fill vacancies that occur as End of Tours are reached and for New Country Entries or Re-entries that are coming up in the near future. If you feel that you are qualified and available for worldwide consideration, depending on Peace Corps' needs and your skills and experience, please apply now. If you know of strong candidates currently outside of Peace Corps, especially minorities and women, let them know of this opportunity. Advise them to go to Peace Corps' website for more detailed information and for the application itself, http://www.peacecorps.gov.

The closing date for receipt of applications is August 30, 2002. All applications will be reviewed as they are received and those who qualify will be interviewed by telephone. The strongest candidates will be interviewed in person by senior staff. We encourage all candidates to come to headquarters for their interviews.

Applications should be submitted by e-mail, courier or FAX, as the US government mail is still being re-routed and delayed. Please note that if you submit your application by e-mail, you must FAX or send in the pages that require your signature.

Applications should be addressed to:

Office of Overseas Executive Selection and Support
Office of the Director
Peace Corps
1111 20th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20526

FAX: (202) 692-2101
E-mail: mailto:cdselection@peacecorps.gov
Telephone: (202) 692-2114
