We are seeking an Executive Director who is passionate about the work and the community, who loves the challenge of juggling diverse responsibilities, an creative ideas person who welcomes the thoughts of others, an effective problem-solver and a people person who takes on new challenges with enthusiasm and rigorous attention to detail.
