Required Qualifications

The requirements shown in the linked job description are representative of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to successfully discharge the duties of the position. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Working conditions and hours

The Executive Director works primarily remotely in the Sacramento, California area and is expected to attend in-person meetings, events and other duties. The Sacramento office is Class A with on-site amenities and proximity to primary commuter routes. Standard workdays and workweeks are the norm. However, the daily work of the membership (school hours) requires flexibility from the association staff to participate in late afternoon board and committee meetings and occasional weekends. The position requires occasional in-state travel, for up to a week at a time and about 10% of annual time.

Education and Experience

A bachelor’s degree is required in a relevant field (business, public administration, or nonprofit management) with attainment of an advanced degree preferred. A minimum of five years executive or senior-level experience in a member-based or other nonprofit organization is required. Designation as a Certified Association Executive (CAE) is highly desired. The successful candidate will show a strong track record of strategic planning, organizational development, membership recruitment and retention, legislative coordination, and project management. We are looking for a strong leader with excellent communication skeels, sound judgement, knowledge of relevant industry issues and trends, integrity with a commitment to ethical conduct, and proficiency with Microsoft Suite, QuickBooks, and association management software (we currently utilize Cvent and AMO).
