The Division Director provides strategic leadership while remaining actively engaged in field operations, overseeing recovery projects, supervising staff, managing volunteers, and building strong partnerships with government agencies, churches, nonprofits, and community organizations. This position requires a calm, decisive leader who can navigate rapidly changing situations, support individuals and families experiencing crisis, and inspire others through service.

  • Represent Catholic Charities of Acadiana at disaster response meetings, recovery coalitions, and community planning efforts
  • Prepare reports, monitor project progress, and communicate updates through established organizational channels
  • Utilize Microsoft Teams, project management systems, and organizational software to coordinate operations and monitor recovery activities
