S/he must be results-driven; dedicated to shared and measurable goals for the common good, and creating, resourcing, scaling, and leveraging strategies and innovations for broad investment and impact.
This role requires a visionary; one who confronts the complex realities of the environment and simultaneously maintains faith in a different and better future; providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Under normal conditions, work is in an office setting. Must be able to sit and stand for extended periods of time and lift up to 50 pounds.
(Duties in Representation)
The President is both the steward and the face of the brand, and must be a positive and professional ambassador for HCP. S/He must understand the importance of the role and how it strengthens, grows, and protects the reputation of the organization. S/he is responsible for building trust in HCP and its relevance in the community. S/he values networking and strives to leverage HCP’s breadth of community presence, relationships, and strategy.
(Duties within the Community)
The President is responsible for the overall impact of HCP on the community, with particular emphasis on increasing its capacity to drive the impact agenda. As a result, this position requires experience in multiple sectors including nonprofit, public, and corporate environments. S/he must also understand the dynamics of local, regional, and national environments, and work on an agenda rooted in the community’s own perception of its needs and aspirations. S/he will establish and build relationships with these top leaders in the community. This role thrives on the power of networking; leveraging HCP’s breadth of community presence, relationships, and strategy, as well as building revenue and increasing philanthropic support. The president will most likely be called upon to make speeches, attend public events, and conduct interviews with the media. After his/her term ends, s/he will become a past president and might continue to represent the organization when called upon by the board.
(Duties within the Leadership Board)
The President generally manages human resources; directly supervising the leadership board as the principal resource, as well as teams and individual volunteers. S/he advises and partners with the board to create and develop organizational goals, strategies, and regulations. His/her strong leadership will help ensure increased impact and resource development. S/he will also help set and run meetings, make board and committee appointments, and assign workloads to board members. This role requires team-building; ensuring all teams are aligned and collaborating to achieve organizational results, as well as the right people are in the right roles at the right times. S/he must be able to lead his/her team as they work long hours in outdoor activities several times a year. There is regularly a need to meet after or before normal business hours.
(Duties within Meetings)
During meetings, the president moves the agenda along and collaborates with the secretary to maintain accountability for the operational and fiscal integrity of the organization. S/he can also call meetings of the executive committee, which is a body of key board members who can conduct business on behalf of the board when it is not in session. Since the nonprofit has no paid staff, the president might perform the duties of a chief executive officer, as an overseer in marketing, as a finance and fundraising committee member, or as a contractor within policies set by the board.
The President works with the Chief Financial Officer to manage organizational spending, monitor budget compliance, and mitigate financial risks. The president must maintain an open communication to the organization’s board of directors, report any significant information and conduct and support the administration for their board. S/he should inform their board members regarding any changes or the organization’s current status
(Duties Among Employees/Volunteers)
The President must also be mission-focused; Catalyzing others’ commitment to mission to create real social change that leads to better and healthier communities. This role must also be relationship oriented in understanding that people come before the process and are astute in fostering relationships toward a common goal. S/he ensures that goals of inclusiveness and diversity among staff and volunteers are met and must have a drive in promoting diversity and an ability to build collaboration with the community at large.
(Duties in Fundraising)
The President is also responsible for overseeing the fundraising activities for HCP. S/he is dedicated to driving key results in fundraising by creating, resourcing, scaling and leveraging strategies for broad investment and impact. S/he must possess the ability to identify, cultivate and solicit prospective donors and key leaders of prospective new corporate partners, and leverage the power of relationships and networks and works across private, public and corporate sectors. The president must also promote a culture of fundraising in the organization, both at the staff and board level. The job requires knowing the organization’s financial needs and taking good care of the organization’s fundraising records.
In regards to Social media, how do you feel about sharing posts from other non-profit groups (not as in stealing it and making it our own, I'm talking about more as in do we have any regulations about sharing ("passively promoting") other organizations on the page or is that not too big a concern?). If not I follow a number of various non-profits who are continually sharing positive stories, and so I could easily share a lot of their content on the side during the breaks while I put together some original posts of our own, it'll help save me a little time and also keep HCP updated pretty frequently.
