The Company is in search of a President to lead its institution with a strong focus on social justice, student success, and the creation of equitable pathways. The successful candidate will be a mission-driven leader, responsible for advancing a vision of belonging, closing opportunity gaps, and strengthening partnerships that enhance the economic and social vitality of the communities served. This role demands a strategic leader who can provide oversight of financial operations, budgeting, enrollment management, and long-range planning to ensure the institution's sustainability and success. The President will work collaboratively with the Board, executive cabinet, faculty, staff, and external partners to identify opportunities for innovation, revenue growth, and operational efficiencies, all while maintaining a commitment to the institution's mission and enhancing student outcomes. Candidates for the President position at the company should possess an advanced degree, with a terminal degree strongly preferred, and have a proven track record of leadership in a higher education setting.

Experience in financial management, budgeting, and a commitment to shared governance and transparency are essential. The role requires a leader with exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, capable of engaging a wide range of stakeholders and fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. The President will also be expected to demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to have a passion for expanding workforce and economic development opportunities, particularly in high-demand fields.
