Key responsibilities include creating and executing forward-thinking business plans, providing strategic leadership to the staff, and collaborating with the Board on the development and implementation of the strategic plan.

The Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer will be expected to have a proven track record in change management, financial acumen, and experience with complex budgeting and revenue diversification.
