The common, defining characteristic is these are people working with communities to directly advance the communities' climate, energy, community, resilience or related goals.

       Some coordinators may be part of an established program (e.g., the Community Resilience Partnership Regional Coordinators), group (e.g., the Wabanaki Sustainable Energy Team, which developed the Wabanaki Sustainable Energy Coordinator position), or organization (e.g., A Climate To Thrive; Center for an Ecology-Based Economy), or they may be hired directly by a local government or committee (e.g., South Portland Sustainability Coordinator)
