Seasoned Leader
Our ideal candidate is the type of person who brings people together – both internally and externally. Our staff, volunteers, and advocates are our most respected and valued resources.

CSN believes that meaningful and lasting change can only be achieved through partnership with the community and entities that intersect with survivors. The Executive Director must genuinely value cooperation and collaboration, and will seek to cultivate respectful relationships with our partners to ensure cohesive delivery of services to the community.

Vision and Strategic Thinking
Our ideal candidate is a visionary who can think and plan strategically. CSN is not satisfied with the status quo and seeks an Executive Director that will partner with the Board on developing a forward-thinking progressive strategic direction that puts CSN on the path to achieving meaningful and lasting change. CSN’s new leader must have experience creating a vision and executing against it.

Our next Executive Director will be able to demonstrate their passion for the mission.
