The Chief Advancement Officer will play a key role in shaping a comprehensive campaign and is expected to work closely with the Executive Director and Board, particularly during the early days of the Executive Director's transition. The ideal candidate for the Chief Advancement Officer position at the company is an enthusiastic, activating doer with strong personal follow-through, an enterprise thinker who can partner across various disciplines, and a talented storyteller.
