Executive Director - Local Government Commission - Sacramento, California http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=26026 OVERVIEW The Board of Directors of the Local Government Commission seeks a passionate leader and successful innovator in the arena of “smart growth” for cities and regions to build upon the tremendous 34-year legacy of its founder, Judy Corbett, who will be leaving her position this year. LGC has a stellar reputation for assisting communities in creating and executing projects focused on environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and social equity. LGC’s next executive director will have the skills to partner with LGC’s experienced staff of community building experts in continuing to expand LGC’s impact throughout California. ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION Originally created by the State of California as a commission of city and county elected officials to promote energy conservation and solar power at the local level, the Local Government Commission has been a national leader for more than three decades in improving communities through innovative approaches to environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and social equity. With a membership network of 900 influential elected officials, staff and associated professionals, the LGC operates on the cutting edge of “bottom up” change. Whether in response to local initiatives or emerging national or state mandates, the Local Government Commission is often first at identifying promising approaches and fostering persuasive models for putting those ideas to work in local communities. Whether undertaking research, educating catalytic leaders, providing technical assistance to local governments or promoting successful case studies, the Local Government Commission offers practical, hands on inspiration and assistance to visionary local government leaders. Local Government Commission programs played a key role in achieving the seemingly impossible goal of diverting more than half of California’s trash from shrinking landfills. It was well ahead of its time in promoting economic development strategies focused on local job creation instead of subsidizing auto malls and big box retailers. It broke new ground in shifting emphasis toward water and energy conservation strategies versus expensive expansion of supply facilities. It is perhaps best known for tackling the problem of suburban sprawl and helping to give birth to “new urbanism” and “smart growth,” leading communities across the nation to promote infill, transit-oriented development and walkable communities. Each year, the Local Government Commission produces the highly-regarded “New Partners for Smart Growth” conference, which brings together diverse leaders from across the nation. The Local Government Commission is also widely credited with incubating significant new local policies and practices across a wide range of other disciplines including public health, community design and active transportation. Recently LGC has been at the forefront of climate change adaptation, helping communities prepare for and respond to increased local risks. All of this is spearheaded by a staff of 20, based in Sacramento. The budget of just over $2 million a year is primarily focused on projects undertaken for cities, counties, foundations and regional, state and federal agencies.

(BTWIC) is seeking an experienced and strategic leader to serve as its next President/Chief Executive Officer in Boston, Massachusetts. BTWIC¡¦s mission is to strengthen early education and care for children with the greatest need through advocacy, public policy development, communication, and research. Background Established in 2002, BTWIC is a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization that focuses on addressing the challenges low-income families face in accessing high-quality early education and care for their children. Focused on Massachusetts, the Initiative¡¦s target population is the 60,000 children aged 0-5 of families across the state who are eligible to receive government subsidies for early education and for whom poverty and other factors put children at risk for physical, cognitive and other developmental delays. We aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young children by supporting and empowering their families and early childhood educators. BTWIC was named in honor of Mrs. Bessie Tartt Wilson, a childcare pioneer whose love of children and commitment to quality education was renowned. In 1946 she started Tartt¡¦s Day Care Center, Boston¡¦s oldest minority owned childcare center. BTWIC's founder, Mary Reed, is Mrs. Wilson's daughter, and the family remains closely involved. BTWIC utilizes a three-tiered approach of advocacy, communication, and research to impact public policy implementation and statewide policy reform.

BTWIC utilizes scholarly research and data collection and directly communicates with early childhood educators and families with young children to get a complete and accurate view of the issues. Since 2006¡¦s Keeping the Promise: A Study of the Massachusetts Child Care Voucher System, we have released high-quality public policy reports that are easily understood by those new to the field but are detailed enough to capture the attention of government officials, business leaders and funders. The recommendations included in these reports are impactful and realistic suggestions for change that often rely on better utilizing existing programs and funding. BTWIC measures outcomes and does follow-up on successful policy reform issues. BTWIC¡¦s current focus is the Early Education Workforce Access and Advocacy Initiative. Specific efforts include proposed legislation, the Early Educators Earned Income Tax Credit, the Student Loan Information Awareness Campaign, the establishment of the SEED Fund (Sustaining Early Education Development), the Early Educator¡¦s Roadmap to a College Degree, and other projects relating to quality early care. BTWIC has invested two years in research regarding health food in early education and will explore the issue in fall symposia in Boston and Worcester. Please see www.btwic.org. BTWIC¡¦s annual budget of $1 million is funded primarily through foundations and the charitable giving of various corporations.

CEO - Rescue California Educational Foundation 501(C) 3 - Rancho Santa Fe, California http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=25945 Rescue California Educational Foundation seeks a CEO Certain times and certain places demand special leadership. The state of California is such a place and this is such a time, and Rescue California Educational Foundation, a 501(C ) 3 foundation, is seeking a CEO to provide such leadership. The Foundation’s mission is to educate Californians about the detrimental effect of a broken governmental structure on politics, corruption, economic development and quality of life. California has by far the worst political representation ratio in the country, and the result is a captive legislature corrupted by well-funded special interests who do not serve the best interests of citizens.

This will occur through a multi-pronged strategy that recognizes the realities of the current political climate; identifies and exploits political/legislative/regulatory opportunity; and leverages the whole of NUL’s resources to advance the policy agenda. The Jobs Rebuild America Campaign – an effort to expand access to job training, STEM education, entrepreneurship support, and career placement – is strengthened by NULWB, which is charged with advocacy in support of such policies as the Urban Jobs Act and Project Ready STEM Act. Legislative Directors occupy critical leadership roles in promoting these and similar efforts. Reporting into the Senior Vice President & Executive Director of NULWB, Legislative Directors have primary responsibility for advancing the policy of the National Urban League within a specific portfolio – either Financial & Housing Policy or Education & Health Policy. The LD accomplishes this through strategic lobbying of Capitol Hill and the Executive Branch; staffing respective Affiliate Task Forces; providing guidance to and serving as a liaison with NUL programming teams; advising the SVP and CEO on relevant policy matters; and working with the SVP to identify, nurture and maintain funder relationships. Additionally, the LD over Financial & Housing will specifically partner with the Senior Director for Workforce Policy to advance the workforce portfolio; while the LD over Education & Health Policy will oversee the Manager, Education and Health Policy. Leading candidates will be familiar with the legislative process and federal, state, and local public policy issues, preferably those affecting urban communities and underserved populations. Specifically s/he will be current with political and legislative developments reflective of the Urban League’s portfolio (Jobs, Housing, Health, and Education) and can recommend strategies, tactics, and co-sponsorships on bills and positions. S/he will possess a reliable network of Hill contacts; strong public speaking skills and ability to convey NUL positions with diplomacy, timeliness, and accuracy; and will work in partnership with staff of other organizations on initiatives of benefit to the National Urban League’s policy agenda. The ideal candidate will possess strong personal initiative, a collaborative work style, and an ability to produce within a fast-paced environment. NULWB is a culture defined by producing results, not completing tasks. Rather than needing to be micromanaged, the ideal candidate will be proactive, optimistic, and energetic with a passion for progress and a penchant for problem solving. Excellent writing and editing skills are required as well as exceptional detail orientation and accuracy of research and analysis; adeptness in managing to multiple rigorous deadlines; and aptitude in writing for a policy and press audience. Candidates will hold a master’s degree in public policy, social work, or related field or J.D. preferred, but not required.

Its mission is to create a just society by mobilizing the next generation of lawyers committed to equal justice. For over 25 years Equal Justice Works has advocated for law school programs that instill public service values among students, generated the funding to create summer and postgraduate public interest jobs (the “Fellowships”) and addressed the staggering educational debt that blocks lawyers from going into public service. Fellowships are funded by federal and state agencies and by law firms and general counsel offices. Every year hundreds of law students and new lawyers apply for these two-year fellowships to help close the justice gap in this country. Fellowships can take on many different forms - innovative projects to address unmet needs, or large-scale programs to tackle one particularly vexing problem, like homeless veterans. www.equaljusticeworks.org.

Since our founding in 1853, The Children’s Aid Society has been at the forefront of developing innovative and effective programs for New York City children living in poverty, and as a poverty-fighting organization, our fundamental purpose, our ultimate outcome, is to help children realize the American dream by escaping from poverty. Research demonstrates that college graduation is a very reliable route out of poverty. Thus, the work we do with children at each stage of their lives must support their ability to learn and excel in school and progress on the path to college graduation.

Headquartered in Utica, NY, HGS provides residential, educational and community based services through a variety of programs at 12 sites in Utica and Watertown, NY.

The Housing Fund fulfills its mission by providing lending programs designed to meet the affordable housing needs of low and moderate-income individuals. <b>The Organization</b> THF is a nonprofit regional Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) located in Nashville, TN that was created in 1996 as a part of Nashville’s Agenda – a community wide planning effort that included affordable housing as one of its “21 goals for the 21st Century.” The Housing Fund’s mission has evolved over the years. Its original focus, affordable home ownership, has expanded to include the larger scope of creating and maintaining affordable and healthy places in which low and moderate income families live. It envisions a future where its work will include community development lending, helping homeowners not only attain their home, but also maintain and improve it, among other innovative programs and services. Some of THF’s greatest areas of community impact to date include:<ul><li>Assisting over 3,000 households purchase a home by providing over $19 million in down payment assistance loans;<li>Providing over $45 million in development financing to assist in the construction or rehabilitation of 1,500 units of affordable housing;<li>Topping $66 million in loans made, which has leveraged in excess of $430 million in private financing;<li>Helping lead Nashville’s flood recovery in 2010-2012 by developing and administering a gap financing program for $10 million in housing repairs, which primarily was funded by federal disaster allocations; and<li>Writing and coordinating the Nashville consortium application for a $30 million Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) Grant that was awarded in 2010. THF received $3.5 million of this grant for its new shared equity homeownership program.</ul> Its evolution and accomplishments have not come without some challenges over the years. Like many financial institutions, THF has found it difficult to deploy loan capital in a stalled housing development market. Additionally, the organization would like to increase its focus on marketing and branding THF in the communities it serves. The Housing Fund’s current strategic plan defines four strategic goal areas:<ol><li>Be a creative leader in cooperatively developing housing and community development solutions.<li>Use its resources to give more people access to healthy places to live.<li>Construct a sustainable financial model.<li>Build organizational strength to propel its shared vision.</ol> The organization’s strategic plan serves as an active planning and evaluation tool guiding its annual portfolio of activities. A number of the actions called for in this plan have been accomplished, and the board and staff are presently considering the organization’s priorities for the future. Continuing to develop these strategic goals will be a top priority in his/her first year. In 2013, The Housing Fund endeavors to achieve the following priorities as it relates to the strategic plan:<ul><li>Increase its gross loan portfolio to $20.5 million from its present level of $17.5;<li>Assist 200 households through THF programs and services, with 60% having incomes below 80% MFI;<li>Originate community and housing development loans of $2.5 million;<li>Increase interest-earning notes receivable balance to $11 million, so that it exceeds notes payables balance (up from $7.9 million at 10/31/12);<li>Train and integrate new and reassigned staff and on-board new executive leadership;<li>Connect and track individual staff plans and performance as it relates to overall organization priorities;<li>Maintain proper finance and program records and compliance;<li>Increase THF’s external presence and work with other community stakeholders to organize and implement place-based neighborhood improvement strategy;<li>Provide community leadership in researching and understanding housing issues; and<li>Adapt and create products and services, as appropriate, to meet housing gaps and identified needs.</ul> A 21-member board of directors governs THF, with its day-to-day business operations managed by the executive and a team of 11 staff. The organization’s annual operating budget exceeds $2 million with net assets of $10 million. More information on THF may be found at www.thehousingfund.org. <b>The Leadership Opportunity</b> After 17 years of existence in providing vital programs and services, The Housing Fund now faces perhaps the most significant challenge all successful organizations must face – the transition of executive leadership from a strong, exceptionally knowledgeable founder to new leadership. Loretta Owens has led The Housing Fund since its inception in 1996, but will retire in September 2013. Even though Ms. Owens will be available for ongoing consultation and support to the new executive director, if desired, The Housing Fund recognizes that it is facing a time of major organization adjustment. Despite the challenge that such a transition presents, THF is entering this process in a sound position and has an opportunity to look more broadly at how it fulfills its mission and serves greater Nashville. It has deep roots in its community, a strong board, and skilled staff. It has developed a strong programmatic base, a solid base of financial support, and a highly respected reputation in the community and among the constituents it serves. There is broad consensus within the organization that it’s in an ideal stage of its development to determine the next best role for The Housing Fund, preserving its rich tradition and reputation while harnessing the most viable opportunities. <b>The Position</b> The executive director carries the full range of responsibilities typically associated with such a position. Reporting to the board of directors, the executive director’s responsibilities can be grouped in four major areas: organizational leadership and management, strategic planning, resource development, and external relations. <b>Organization Leadership and Management –</b> The executive director is The Housing Fund’s chief leader and 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 and other reporting. Finally, and of critical importance, the executive director is responsible for creating a work environment that challenges and empowers staff, and enables them to achieve their greatest level of effectiveness and develop professionally. <b>Strategic Planning –</b> In the area of strategic planning, the executive director works closely with the board and staff to shape the organization’s direction. This includes both the identification and assessment of new strategies and initiatives that might amplify The Housing Fund’s identity as a proactive leadership organization and planning for the careful utilization and investment of human and financial resources. <b>Resource Development –</b> A third major responsibility for the executive director is that of developing diversified resources for the organization. In this role, he/she will work closely with both the board and staff leadership to both maintain positive relations with current donors and funding sources, and identify and develop new sources of annual support, as well as capital for projects. The executive director plays a key role in communicating with and nurturing donors and investors, even as s/he pursues other potential sources of revenue associated with either current or new programs. <b>External Relations –</b> As the the primary spokesperson for the organization, the director represents The Housing Fund to the broad range of publics it touches, not only in the Nashville metropolitan area, but also nationally. These publics include the residents, businesses, political, and community leaders of the neighborhoods in which THF works, the users of its services, as well as many partners. These partners include the federal, state, and local government agencies that relate to The Housing Fund’s programs and activities, the various organizations and coalitions that support and share its mission and goals, and private sector leaders in Nashville’s business and banking communities whose support is critical to many of THF’s initiatives. <b>Top 12 – 18 Month Priorities:</b> Toward these ends, the board has outlined the following priorities for the first 12–18 months of the incoming director’s tenure:<ul> <li>Lead the organization forward in its new, more broadly defined direction of creating and maintaining affordable and healthy places to live;<li>Carry forward its strategic priorities, resource development, and marketing and branding, while adapting to keep THF a relevant and impactful affordable housing and community development resource for the greater Nashville community;<li>Establish strong working relationships with the board of directors, staff, funding sources, and partners;<li>Gain knowledge of and build relationships with the Nashville community and its neighborhoods;<li>Quickly understand the business model and approach of THF, learning the structure of the organization, including an understanding of programs, vital partners, and the political landscape particular to the organization;<li>Gain an in-depth understanding of the organization’s financial structure and complexities;<li>Revisit the 2011 strategic plan and work with board and staff in continuing the advancement of its work in executing the strategic directives, objectives, and actions;<li>Based on THF’s strategic direction, assess staffing needs and align talent to organizational priorities and core lines of business;<li>Review THF’s current programs and services, determine the needs of the Nashville community, and identify the most viable opportunities to seize;<li>Help ensure that affordable housing and community development is a top priority among community leaders in greater Nashville;<li>Develop a stronger, more defined presence of THF in the community, and become the face of THF to the community; and <li>Ensure the momentum and continued development of key organization programs, as well as proactively exploring new programmatic opportunities.</ul> <b>Experience and Qualifications</b> Ideal candidates for this position will have a passion for housing and neighborhood redevelopment, sharing THF’s commitment to helping individuals and communities create and maintain affordable and healthy places to live. Qualified applicants must possess an undergraduate degree, with preferred direct management experience in a complementary development or nonprofit organization, and bring a variety of experiences and attributes to THF, including:<ul><li>Demonstrated evidence of a strategic, visionary leader with capability of guiding an organization to a higher level of performance;<li>Seven or more years of progressive responsibility in senior management and leadership positions, including oversight of a comparably-sized budget and staff, with real estate development and financing experience;<li>Entrepreneurial orientation to identify and advance particular development and financing opportunities;<li>Proven track record of cultivating funding relationships and raising private, public, and foundation capital and operating support;<li>Extensive experience as a key relationship manager and team builder, ensuring that individuals are supported, empowered, and held accountable to goal achievement;<li>Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills and a proven successful record of building and maintaining strong working relationships with internal (staff and board) and external stakeholders;<li>A high level of energy, initiative, creativity, and an ability to produce results;<li>Exhibited political savvy, tact, and diplomacy;<li>Experience in the development and implementation of a strategic plan; and<li>An ability to innovate, adapt, and recognize trends to keep the organization flexible and responsive to new opportunities and requirements.</ul> <b>Application Process</b> Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
