President and CEO
The Ford Family Foundation seeks a President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who embraces the Foundation’s legacy, mission and values and will propel the organization to an exciting next chapter of impact. Experience inspiring, growing, and leading an organization while upholding the highest standards of innovation, integrity, and commitment to drive for results will be critical to achieving the Foundation’s increased ambitions.
The President and CEO will work closely with the Foundation board, management team, staff, and the communities it serves to actualize philanthropic priorities that reflect and support a recently adopted strategic plan. The Foundation’s new leader will inherit an organization that has earned and enjoys a strong reputation and deep, trusted relationships across Oregon. The unique opportunity exists to exponentially elevate the Foundation’s influence in the state of Oregon and nationally as a model champion for rural communities.
