Connecticut Breast Health Initiative - Executive Director

Grossman Solutions

New Britain, CT • On-site

Full-time

Posted 20 days ago

Job description

OVERVIEW
The rise in breast cancer, particularly among younger people, is a cause for deep concern. One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and the racial disparities in death rates is significant.
In Connecticut, nearly 4,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone. The state has the second highest breast cancer rate in the nation, and it remains the second highest cause of cancer deaths in Connecticut women.
Fortunately, with advances in detection and treatment, the survival rate is improving. Robust education programs and research are critical to making medical advances, saving lives, and finding a cure.
The Connecticut Breast Health Initiative (CT BHI) is a 23-year-old statewide organization whose mission is to make a difference locally in the fight against breast cancer through education and research.
With the support of dedicated, mission-driven volunteers and donors, CT BHI has awarded millions to invest in these life-changing, life-saving programs.
CT BHI supports innovation and prioritizes programs that have not yet qualified for federal grants. Early financial support helps researchers collect initial data and prove a concept, which can then lead to larger funding opportunities. Research is revolutionizing our understanding of breast cancer; the research of today will save lives tomorrow.
Since its inception in 2004, CT BHI has awarded $4.9 million in 119 grants to Connecticut's leading institutions. Every dollar raised has stayed right here in Connecticut to support research breakthroughs, education programs, and the enhancement of survivor quality of life.
THE ROLE
CT BHI seeks a passionate, talented Executive Director to build upon two decades of success and guide the organization into its next chapter.
The Executive Director will hold overall fundraising and operational responsibility for CT BHI's achievement of its mission, growth, and sustainability. The Executive closely collaborate with board members and volunteers and manage a small team of staff and consultants.
The next leader will bring substantial experience in fundraising and a proven track record in developing relationships with donors and corporate sponsors, nurturing existing relationships, and cultivating new funding sources.
The Executive Director will be an exceptional communicator with a talent for inspiring audiences, enhancing an organization's profile, and sharing the stories of those impacted by breast cancer and the innovative work of our Connecticut researchers.
The Executive Director will possess exceptional interpersonal skills and will be adept at forging authentic relationships with both internal and external stakeholders and understands how to manage a volunteer-driven organization.
The Executive Director will further professionalize the organization by developing and implementing systems, processes, and procedures for grant administration, fundraising, finances, and human resources.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on, dynamic leader and exceptional fundraiser who inspires audiences and values relationships. The Executive Director brings a command of nonprofit fundraising, is a skilled communicator, and has a passion for finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.
