Caregiver Action Network (CAN), the
nation’s leading resource and advocate for millions of family
caregivers, seeks a strategic, visionary and entrepreneurial chief
executive officer (CEO) to drive advancement of its mission,
strengthen its constituency engagement, and inspire and guide a
team of dedicated staff committed to caring for those who care for
others.
Established in 1993 as the non-profit
National Family Caregivers Association, CAN envisions an America in
which family caregivers feel supported, and not alone; caregivers
who are better able to balance the demands of caring with their
other responsibilities, have access to resources, understand their
finances, and ultimately make better, informed decisions about
their loved ones’ care. CAN is uniquely positioned to reach
millions of family caregivers and also serve as a voice for
caregivers on the national stage.
In its 30-year history, CAN’s impact
has grown tremendously. Serving a broad spectrum of family
caregivers, CAN deeply understands that each caregiver has unique
needs – a parent helping a child with significant health
requirements, a friend supporting a wounded veteran, or an adult
child caring for a parent with the frailties of aging. Its
extensive digital “toolbox,” offers guidance on numerous caregiving
situations and provides tailored information by specific
conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, or physical
or mental health challenges. CAN also hosts online platforms that
provide resources for those caring for loved ones with living with
cancer or a
rare disease. Access
to individualized support is made possible through CAN’s call
center, the Caregiver Help Desk,
which provides free, confidential assistance by phone, live chat,
or email. Its Corporate
Leadership Council, representing some of the nation’s leading
pharmaceutical, biotech, and health-consumer companies, partners
with CAN to fuel needed programs and services.
Position Summary:
Reporting to and working closely with CAN’s Board of Directors, the
CEO develops, directs, and carries out strategies that ensure the
organization’s financial and programmatic sustainability, including
broadening the community of corporate partners and funders. As the
face of the organization, the CEO serves as an authentic,
articulate, and effective brand ambassador, interfacing with
business leaders, policy makers, media, and others vital to
advancing an aspirational agenda. The CEO inspires, empowers and
leads a team of eight, fostering a work culture that values and
appreciates the uniqueness of individuals, their capabilities,
insights, ideas, and contributions.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree and 10+ years’ experience and a record of success
leading organizations through growth; knowledge of nonprofit
operations, finance, and board governance with strong business
acumen; knowledge and/or relationships within the policy-making and
advocacy environment; strategic and data-driven approach and
operational mindset; problem solver committed to CQI; exceptional
communicator experienced at cultivation and stewardship of
relationships and making the case for support; and empathy,
authenticity and passion for advancing CAN’s
mission.
