Candidates with relevant doctoral degrees are also encouraged to apply. Specific skills of the desired candidate include culturally grounded leadership and management skills; strategic planning; effective interaction with funding sources and community stakeholders; and well-developed written and verbal communication skills. Grant-writing, third party billing, information technology, strategic communication, fiscal operations, and program evaluation experiences are also desirable. The expected start date is Monday, April 4, 2022. Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience. For the successful candidate, residency in McLean County will be required.
