With staff, board, donors, advisors and stakeholders, the new President/CEO will develop a strategic plan that defines DRA’s role as the litigation arm of the disability rights movement.

Serve as a passionate ambassador and revenue generator for the organization in a broad range of settings to engage stakeholders including clients and donors.  Advance the organization’s mission through innovative and creative use of media.  Apply fundraising strategies and maintain and advance donor relations.

Strong and effective interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders and donors.  Knowledge and experience of development and implementation of fundraising strategies.  Past success working with a nonprofit board and a demonstrable understanding of board development, governance and decision-making.

The new President/CEO must be a fierce disability leader with an uncompromising commitment to advancing the rights of all people with disabilities.  The successful candidate must demonstrate that they are an innovative, transparent, adaptive leader with a commitment to building strong and effective teams, employee development and a drive to mentor, coach, and support all DRA staff.  The ideal candidate will have lived experience and deep roots in the disability community.  The successful individual should have the emotional intelligence to engage in honest self-reflection and receive constructive feedback, as well as the humility to share power and make thoughtful decisions.  Proven success creating cultures defined by accountability, trust and respect are critical.

Salary:

Commensurate with the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate, the salary range for the position is $250,000 – $300,000 annually.  In addition to generous paid time off, DRA provides an excellent benefits package including medical, dental, vision; with 100% paid employee premiums, Life/AD&D, short-term disability, long-term disability, and long-term care insurance for employees at 100% paid premium coverage, flex spending account, and a 401(k) savings plan with employer match.
