The Executive Director would possess the ability to control, guide, and direct the Association in a professional manner that would enable the organization to be stable, provide a solid foundation for the growth it needs, and prosper with the leadership skills necessary to accomplish its goals with positive results.

He/she will work with the Life Skills Coordinator to enhance the recruitment and retention of foster families of teens through their own initiative. ! Working with the Mentor Coordinator, the Executive Director will advocate for additional support services for new foster families as well as veteran foster families who are experiencing difficulties and are at risk. These additional services may include resources such as literature, videos, or training which the Association would like to host with guest speakers.
