This position offers the opportunity to build on existing strengths and chart a new strategic direction for this highly respected nonprofit that provides public education, advocacy, social action, and innovative mental health programs. The Organization Based in Rockville, MHA promotes mental wellness and supports those with mental illness by sponsoring and implementing advocacy, education and community service programs. A private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, United Way and CFC agency, MHA has served Montgomery County residents since 1957. MHA currently manages 10 major direct service programs for children, teens, families, and senior adults as well as individuals with long-term mental illness. Approximately 750 volunteers implement programs under the direction of MHA�s professional staff, serving, in the past year, 5,982 clients with ongoing services and 25,986 people with short term services. To help further the philosophy that mental health is as important as physical health, MHA offers affordable, valuable and timely seminars on a variety of topics to many segments of the community. Board, staff and volunteers initiate and serve on numerous committees, task forces and coalitions to help assure better mental health services for area residents. MHA also plays an active role in advocacy on the local, state and national levels. Current Programs MHA serves a vital role in Montgomery County through community outreach, professional education, advocacy and direct service programs. � Direct Service Programs: o Adult Homeless Mental Health Services � offers case management and ongoing assistance to formerly homeless adults who are living independently through Shelter Plus Care and New Neighbors programming. o Bridges to Pals � offers support to children and adolescents in foster care as well as other at-risk children through a one-on-one relationship with a responsible, caring mentor. o Families Foremost Center (FFC) � provides free, comprehensive services for pregnant women and parents with young children (younger than four). o Friendly Visitor Program � offers friendship and support to home-bound elderly who are isolated and lonely due to physical or emotional concerns. o HOPES (Hotline, Outreach & Programming for Emotional Support) � A free, confidential hotline, staffed 24/7, offering crisis & suicide intervention/prevention as well as referral services.

MHA also offers and/or cosponsors seminars and workshops for continuing education. MHA is approved to provide continuing education credit by the Board of Social Work Examiners of the state of Maryland, and the National Board for Certified Counselors. � Advocacy: Each year, MHA determines a set of legislative and advocacy priorities on important mental health issues at the national, state and county level. Recent priorities have focused on parity at the federal level, increased access to care at the state and county levels, services to young people in the juvenile justice system, and ensuring access to mental health services for service members, members of the National Guard and reservists, and their families Future Outlook MHA is a strong, extremely well managed organization. To further the organization�s sustainability, over the past year MHA has conducted a strategic review process with an eye toward expanding services and augmenting its business model. This process is slated for completion in spring of 2012, but the incoming president/CEO will have an opportunity to further shape the results of the planning work. Thus far, the planning process has identified three critical priorities for the new executive, board and staff to tackle over the next three years: 1. Increase and diversify the revenue base. The board has established a growth target to increase revenues from $4 .7 million to $6 million over the next three years. MHA expects to maintain and enhance its strong partnership with the Montgomery County government, but the board recognizes the need to diversify the revenues and reduce dependence on government funding from the current 72% share of overall revenues. Identified areas for revenue enhancement include an expansion of income and fundraising from private sources. The board is also open to expansion of programs or earned income opportunities that reach beyond Montgomery County. 2. Analyze current programs and selectively expand those that offer the best opportunities to increase impact and revenues. The incoming executive will be expected to review the current portfolio of programs, exploring service and revenue expansion options, potential synergies, and learnings that can translate into earned income. Similarly, review the organization�s portfolio of affiliations and collaborations, again looking to build on strengths and create new synergies. 3. Rebrand and enhance the marketing of the organization. The board recognizes that while the MHA has brand recognition within the Montgomery County government and some funding circles, they expect the new president/CEO to work with them to develop a branding campaign. This could potentially be a rebranding campaign that would include a name change. These priorities will be achieved while continuing MHA's record of promoting professional growth; fostering MHA as a �great place to work;� and continuing its track record of organizational growth and its focus on program outcomes and impact. MHA�s current base budget is approximately $4M and is funded through direct public support, program service revenue and fundraising. For more information on MHA, please visit www.mhamc.org. The Position The incoming president/CEO will succeed Sharon Friedman, who will be stepping down to seek other opportunities in summer of 2012 after 17 years of outstanding leadership. Sharon's successor will inherit an organization with a strong track record of service and leadership excellence, an excellent senior management team, and a strong and dedicated board of directors. The president/CEO�s primary responsibilities are leading the association�s programs and services; managing the association�s objectives through public education, advocacy and the creation of innovative mental health programs; directing the management staff, employees and volunteers in delivering programs and services; establishing and meeting the audit and operational requirements of a nonprofit organization; continually analyzing the association�s activities and recommending changes in emphasis and programs; and, conceiving and proposing new projects for board approval on the basis of local community, state and regional needs in terms of the defined objectives of the association. Reporting through the president of the MHA board of directors, the president/CEO will be responsible for the work of all agency staff. Direct reports include the deputy executive director (who supervises the program directors), the finance director, the community outreach and association development director, the human resources director, and the senior executive assistant. The president/CEO will partner with local mental health and social service providers to create mental health awareness and provide assistance to those dealing with mental illness. He/she will develop innovative collaborative programs with other community organizations, both public and private while participating as an active leader on nonprofit issues within Montgomery County.

Executive Director - Art Sanctuary - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Founded in 1998, Philadelphia-based Art Sanctuary uses the power of black art to transform individuals, unite groups of people, and enrich, and draw inspiration from the inner city. By inviting both established and aspiring artists to create exciting lectures, performances, and educational programs, Art Sanctuary produces, commissions, presents, and teaches artistic excellence. Art Sanctuary programs include: � The Celebration of Black Writing (CBW) What began in 1984 as a black history month writing conference has grown into one of the nation�s longest-running commemorations of contemporary black writing -- a full-fledged festival held the first week of June on Temple University�s campus and across the city. Noted recipients of the festival�s Lifetime Achievement Award include: Chinua Achebe, Sonia Sanchez, Charles Fuller, Walter Mosley, Terry McMillan and Nikki Giovanni. Additionally, the festival brings great authors into schools, so that students can meet their favorite writers; � Hip H�Opera A collaborative program between Art Sanctuary and the Opera Company of Philadelphia, Hip H�Opera launched in 2007. The three-phase project takes teaching artists and workshops to more than 100 students and their teachers in seven schools. They learn the history and aesthetics of hip-hop and opera, genres that use the human voice to tell profound stories, and then, using poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, these students capture and retell their own stories. The initial pieces, which premiered in 2008, were work shopped with young librettists, and then performed, first as poetry by the teens, then in musical form by opera singers, a string quartet, a pianist, and intergenerational chorus. Hip-H�Opera sold out two local performances. In 2013, professionals will craft the students� new work into an opera for production in the fall of 2014. Students will have an opportunity to work with a librettist, dramaturge, producer, composer, and choreographer while mounting the final production. They will also be involved in such technical areas as set design and costuming. The program is expected to become a national model for bridging genres and bringing new energy to inner-city music study. � Class Acts Class Acts brings fine writers and artists of color into schools for workshops, lectures, and performance matinees. Workshops are run by scholars and specialists to give teachers fresh, new lessons, many connected to live performances at Art Sanctuary�s signature events. � Reading in Concert In keeping with Art Sanctuary�s goal to �deepen literary experiences� and create new readers, Reading in Concert brings literature to life for students. Each year, Art Sanctuary selects a text (novel, music, essay, etc.) and engages an artist/educator to create a unique learning guide that teachers can incorporate into humanities-based curricula. Students are then brought to a live performance based on the text they have been studying. � Can you Hear God Crying? In 2010, arts philanthropist, Carole Haas Gravango commissioned a new piece of music from composer and Grammy-nominated trumpeter Hannibal Lokumbe. As a result, Hannibal created the masterpiece that is �Can You Hear God Crying?� At its core, the piece traces Hannibal�s discovery of a great-grandfather Silas, brought as a boy from Liberia into slavery in America. Hannibal was particularly moved by the idea of the middle passage and specifically the �door of no return� through which the slaves passed. Through his music, he seeks to examine the various �doors of no return� in our own lives. Hannibal has created circles of incarcerated brothers in Philadelphia and Texas who invoke music as their Muse to give them courage and company, solace and strength. Art Sanctuary partners with Hannibal for these classes in writing and music in the Philadelphia Detention Center. The organization is also working with students from local Arts high schools to learn and perform some of the music at this year�s Reading in Concert. THE POSITION The Executive Director position is a unique, high-profile leadership opportunity for an individual with initiative and an entrepreneurial spirit. She/He will provide the vision, strategic direction, fundraising leadership, and management expertise for one of Philadelphia�s most beloved cultural treasures.

Director, Justice Program - Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law - New York, New York

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law seeks a thoughtful, creative and dynamic new leader for its Justice Program. The Director guides the Center�s work to reform the criminal and civil justice systems by expanding and improving legal representation, eliminating racial disparities and ensuring that all people have meaningful opportunities to address their legal needs. This job is an outstanding opportunity for a strategic team player with vision, energy, a passion for leadership, and a keen understanding of how high quality work can lead to significant and enduring social change. MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a nonpartisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the fundamental issues of democracy and justice. The Center is one of the nation�s leading legal policy institutions � part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group. The Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector. The Center was founded by the clerks and family of Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., and is guided by his vision of �common human dignity.� THE WORK OF THE BRENNAN CENTER At the core of the Brennan Center�s work is the belief that the United States will meet its challenges only if our systems of democracy and justice are reformed. The Center�s staff write reports, draft legislation, litigate widely, provide congressional testimony, publish op-eds, convene top thinkers, build bipartisan coalitions, and craft innovative policy solutions to make government work better and more transparently and to fix the �infrastructure� of our democracy. The Center is independent, nonpartisan and fact-based. Recently, the Center has litigated a major Constitutional case defending Arizona�s public financing law in the U.S. Supreme Court; launched a new jurisprudential movement on money in politics in the wake of the Supreme Court�s ruling in Citizens United; convened top White House officials, law enforcement professionals, civil liberties experts and community leaders to discuss the challenges of domestic counter-terrorism; and released a groundbreaking report on how �user fees� in the criminal justice system impact indigent people convicted of crimes. The Center works through three core programs: The Justice Program fights to secure the nation's promise of equal justice for all. The Center works to increase access to justice with a particular focus on marginalized communities. We seek to reform the criminal and civil justice systems by expanding and improving legal representation, eliminating racial disparities and ensuring that all people have meaningful opportunities to address their legal needs. Current initiatives include efforts to educate policymakers and the public about the need for legal representation for homeowners facing foreclosure; advocacy to address the unjust impact of �criminal justice debt� on poor people; and work to improve access to justice for non-English speakers. The Center also leads the Community Oriented Defender Network, a coalition of more than 100 public defender offices working with communities to provide holistic, client-centered legal representation to indigent people in criminal cases. Over the next few years, the Center intends to expand this work. The Democracy Program seeks to reform political institutions so they reflect the voices of all Americans. In the wake of Citizens United, the Center leads the legal defense of campaign finance laws, and it promotes small donor public financing and other innovative political reforms. The Center defends voting rights and fights proposals that would hinder voting by minorities and the poor. It educates the public about the need for fair and transparent redistricting processes. It presses for Voter Registration Modernization, which would add 65 million to the voter rolls while cutting costs. And it works for an independent judiciary, focusing especially on the corrosive role of special interest financing of judicial races. The Liberty and National Security Program fights to balance constitutional protections with the urgent need to protect the country. The Center focuses on domestic counterterrorism � assuring that law enforcement, from local police to the FBI, respects constitutional rights and avoids racial profiling in the fight against �homegrown terror.� The Center also seeks openness and accountability in national security policy and is preparing a series of reports and an upcoming book on secrecy. The Center has an annual operating budget of about $7.5 million. Currently 55 staff members work in the Center�s office in New York City and a satellite office in Washington, DC. The Center is governed by a 24-member Board of Directors. It is affiliated with, but independent of, New York University (NYU) School of Law. Its staff teach at NYU and other law schools, including operating a Brennan Center Clinic that involves students in the organization�s work. Staff includes approximately two dozen lawyers and other professionals.

Executive Director - Northwest School for Hearing-Impaired Children - Seattle, Washington

OVERVIEW Northwest School for Hearing-Impaired Children (NWSFHIC) was founded in 1982 by two public school teachers, Karen Appelman and Judy Callahan. Both had seen their students prosper when they reinforced speech and language correction with an extra repetition, and encouraged speaking in complete English sentences. They also developed teaching techniques that keep deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children on academic grade level. From this experience, they had a vision to provide an educational program that not only kept DHH children on grade level, but also developed their best speech, listening, and English language skills. Joined by long-time colleague Peggy Mayer, they have developed and honed a comprehensive approach to educating DHH children. Some of the important aspects of their methodology include: 1. All communication from the teacher to the child is signed and spoken concurrently in complete English. 2. Children are assisted in communicating using complete English, with concurrent speech and S.E.E. Mastery is encouraged through the �Again Technique�, to aid children in practicing their communication skills. The �Again Technique� is also used to develop the speech potential of children. 3. A sequenced curriculum of practical sentence patterns, which deaf and hard of hearing children do not usually learn, is also taught. 4. A comprehensive academic program is provided, which keeps DHH students on academic grade level (with the exception of those who have additional learning problems). From this beginning, NWSFHIC has grown to become a tremendously successful program. The School now serves approximately 50 children from preschool through middle school. With a highly trained and committed faculty and administration, a wholly owned and mortgage free campus and an endowment of nearly $5M, the School is in an ideal place to welcome the next generation of leadership. A recent study, to be published in the Spring, 2012, issue of The American Annals of the Deaf, documents the experience of students graduated from NWSFHIC over a period of 20 years. The results are dramatic. NWSFHIC graduates earn more college degrees, live more independently and are employed at a significantly higher rate than the principal national sample. The School is located in Seattle, Washington, with an annual operating budget of approximately $1.5 M, a staff of 25 and a 10-member board. See: www.northwestschool.com CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES The Board and Founders have been preparing for the transition to a new leader over the past few years, and the timing is now right. There is strong Board leadership in place, with a Chair who is deeply experienced in organizational leadership and transition. The methodology and curriculum unique to NWSFHIC are well established, with a strong faculty, effective quality assurance, and a rigorous, supportive and collaborative school culture. The School is financially secure. We anticipate two stages of activity in the role of the new Executive Director. The first stage is to replace the Founders in day-to-day leadership with the same level of excellence that has been honed over the first 30 years of the School�s existence. We expect the Executive Director to be a fully engaged school principal, immersed in the teaching methodology, curriculum development, assessment, training, classroom activities and parental support. There is much to be learned from the 30 years of experience of the Founders and their colleagues, and maintaining the creative and supportive culture of the School will require a full commitment from the new Executive Director. After the new Executive Director achieves mastery in leading the School, we anticipate she or he will begin to prepare for growth. We believe the NWSFHIC approach has tremendous potential as a national model. Our expectation is that this will be done through conference presentations, technical assistance and demonstration workshops. In time, a more ambitious program may result. The Executive Director, working with the Board and staff, will develop a long-term plan for the future of NWSFHIC and the growth of the methodology now being successfully used at the School. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES Reporting to the Board Chair and the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will have overall responsibility for the planning, implementation and management of all NWSFHIC programs and systems. Serving as an advisor to the Board, the Executive Director can expect the active involvement and support of its members. He or she will be accountable to the Board for assuring that NWSFHIC activities achieve the School�s performance and outcome goals. The Executive Director will work with the Board, administrative team and faculty to complete and implement the strategic framework and plan for NWSFHIC. Institutional strategy, enhancing the School�s brand and communications, and forming external relationships to bolster programmatic strategies will be central to this role. The Executive Director will be the spokesperson for the School in a wide and highly visible range of situations providing confidence-inspiring leadership, mobilizing broad-based support and acting with confidence, knowledge and wisdom on behalf of the School. The Executive Director is accountable for the fiscal health of the organization. She or he will supervise risk management, financial, insurance and personnel management, and the management of contractual and regulatory relationships with multiple school districts. She or he will oversee the NWSFHIC operating budget and maintain fiscal control over expenditures. He or she will assist in identifying potential sources of support for NWSFHIC operations and development. The Executive Director must be vigilant in sustaining NWSFHIC�s commitment to team building and be attentive to internal management, ensuring that all parts of the organization are working toward the same goals. QUALIFICATIONS NWSFHIC is seeking an Executive Director who has a demonstrated commitment to the education of deaf and hard of hearing students, and who will inspire a broad-based, deeply felt commitment to the advancement of the NWSFHIC mission. Strong leadership, management, communication and decision-making skills are critical to success in this position. The successful candidate should have the proven ability to encourage teamwork and collaboration among many individuals and organizations. The Executive Director will be a compassionate leader with extraordinary vision who is able to realize that vision through a rich interaction with the Board, faculty, educators, parents, students and those who support the organization. The Executive Director must have a value set consistent with a culture that is based upon respect, camaraderie, high ethical standards and a passion to make a difference. The Executive Director must have the skill to ensure that NWSFHIC continues to be responsive to the dynamic, changing needs of the children and families it serves, and sustain the methods and resources that have resulted in such extraordinary success so far. The ideal candidate will be an experienced educator and administrator in the field of deaf education. The Executive Director must understand programmatic and policy issues central to the School and will be able to explain such issues to staff members, parents, school districts, the media, and other institutions and professionals as appropriate. A minimum of five years experience in a senior leadership role is expected. An advanced degree in education, research, management or other related disciplines is preferred. Desired skills and commitments include: � Leadership: Commands respect for her or his accomplishments. Is well connected and has extensive experience working with schools, policymakers and other leaders in the field. Can inspire others. � Commitment: Demonstrates a personal commitment to education and serving the DHH community.

Director of Development - San Francisco Food Bank - San Francisco, California

Organizational Overview The San Francisco Food Bank was founded in the early 1980�s to collect donated food and distribute it to programs that feed the very poor. It has become San Francisco�s leading organization devoted to ending hunger and has set state and national standards for success. After building a new food distribution center in 1997 and subsequently creating a network of over 200 neighborhood pantries, the San Francisco Food Bank distributes more food to its people in poverty than any food bank in the nation. We also lead the sector in distributing nutritious food. A decade ago we began soliciting donations of fresh produce directly from growers and packers and creating a year-around supply of fruits and vegetables for our clients. After expanding produce sourcing and distribution to other food banks in the San Francisco Bay Area, the program was renamed Farm to Family and placed with the California Association of Food Banks for the benefit of all food banks in California and the western United States. The program was featured in the NY Times Magazine in October 2009. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11banks-t.html In January 2011 we merged with the Marin Food Bank and have brought that county up to the service levels in San Francisco. Because of our strong performance and innovations like these, we have asked our donor base for an exceptional level of support. That support has fueled our growth and allowed us to undertake new programs that have provided unparalleled benefit for those we serve. We are a member of Feeding America, the nation�s food bank network. Through that affiliation we maintain nationally recognized standards. We connect with national donors of food and money and act together to affect national policies that help our clients. We are currently working with Feeding America on a national campaign targeting donors who are able to give $1 million + toward a joint campaign benefiting national and local priorities. The San Francisco Food Bank is a leading advocate for better government programs to benefit those we serve. We work locally for better access to school meals, food stamps and other food programs. We advocate at the state and national level to streamline programs and cut red-tape that prevents and discourages clients from receiving benefits for which they qualify. We seek to measure the impact of hunger through surveys and studies. We act as a voice for those who seek assistance to feed themselves and their families. Through the media we speak out on issues of poverty and hunger to raise awareness and create action that supports both public and private efforts to combat hunger. The San Francisco Food Bank is seeking a Director of Development to strategically lead the organization�s fund development department to meet its current goal of $11mm in annual support of our $14mm budget.
