Candidates should also bring a track record of fostering meaningful community partnerships, driving organizational growth, and positioning an organization as a trusted leader in its field.
The next CEO of Community Care Durham will be known for their integrity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. They will embrace bold yet thoughtful decision-making, take calculated risks to drive organizational impact, encourage innovation, and cultivate a culture of accountability, learning, and inclusion. They will be a unifying force who inspires confidence among staff, volunteers, partners, and funders, while ensuring CCD continues to strengthen its capacity to serve the community.
