FutureGenerations
President/Chief Executive Officer
Future Generations promotes community-based change as a proven, alternative path to international development and conservation. The core of Future Generations work is a system that communities and governments can use to shape their futures. This system can create large nature preserves (as in Tibet, China), rapid social change (as in India), extend health services (as in Peru), or help countries rebound from conflict (as in Afghanistan).
As an action-oriented civil society organization that partners with a parallel graduate school, the organization’s three-pronged operational strategy is to:
• Incubate effective demonstrations of community change through partnerships in target countries (Afghanistan, China, India, and Peru)
• Conduct applied research to develop and evaluate community-based approaches
• Build local capacity worldwide through a Master’s Degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation
The President serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Future Generations the nonprofit Civil Society Organization and all its departments. The President also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Future Generations Graduate School. The President shall be responsible to both Boards of Trustees for the operation and management of both organizations and for executing all directives of the two separate Boards of Trustees. The President is the leader of institutional short-term and long-term planning for both institutions. The President shall lead in all aspects of securing private and public donor support as well as coordinating both Board and staff involvement in fundraising.
The President shall implement the institutional policies as shaped by the Boards of Trustees, present that policy within the organization to staff and faculty, and lead in execution of these policies outside the organizations to the public and cooperating governments and agencies. The President is responsible for providing strategic leadership and direction for both organizations, overall direction of country programs, leading fiscal operations, fundraising, coordinating external relations, evaluating progress, managing all institutional assets.
Most significantly, the President is the steward and advocate of the overall mission of the organization. The President is expected to uphold the Core Values, Institutional Vision, and Mission Statements of Future Generations the Civil Society Organization and Future Generations the Graduate School as stated in the official documents of the organizations.
Our next President will have previous experience in Executive leadership of a multimillion dollar and multinational organization. The successful candidate will have a proven record of accomplishments and significant impact in our related fields as well as outstanding interpersonal skills. The President must be willing to travel at least 50% of the time. A bachelor’s degree is required and an advanced degree is a plus but not required.
