1) Executive Director – Housing & Community Development Network of NJ

Organizational Background: The Housing & Community Development Network of NJ is a statewide association of over 250 non-profit housing and community development corporations, individuals, professional organizations, and prominent New Jersey corporations that supports the creation of housing choices and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income community residents. The Network supports its CDC members by providing targeted technical assistance and educational programs, pursuing additional resources and improved public policies, and conducting research on ways to enhance the impact and effectiveness of the community development sector. The Network currently has 11 staff members and an annual operating budget of $1.25 million.

The Network believes that community development should engage residents fully in the building and rebuilding of their communities, and that community-based non-profit development corporations are an essential part in that process. The Network and its members share a commitment to promoting economic justice and the empowerment of low-income individuals and communities, and encouraging wider participation in the framing and implementation of public policies. Access to safe and decent shelter for low- and moderateincome residents should be a priority for all communities in New Jersey.

Opportunities of the Position and Organization: The Housing and Community Development Network has enjoyed significant success in providing its core services of capacity building, public policy advocacy, and networking for its members. It has highly skilled and professional staff in the Network’s different areas of work. The Network is viewed as the leader in New Jersey on all public policy matters relating to community development and housing. The Board, staff, members and supporters of the Network are seeking to preserve and build upon this stellar reputation.

One unique aspect of this position is that it has been held by the organization’s founder for the past 23 years. The outgoing ED is a highly visible and respected leader. The new ED will need to build upon the foundation she has established, while exploring new approaches and initiatives in order to ensure the organization remains relevant and adept at providing the networking, technical and policy support needed by its members.

Position Overview: The Executive Director of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey plans, organizes, leads, directs, coordinates and controls the Organization’s overall operations, adhering to the highest professional standards consistent with the objectives and policies established by the Board of Directors. The Executive Director supports and implements the philosophy and policies established by the Board of Directors and is accountable and reports to the President of the Board of Directors. As Chief Administrative Officer of the Corporation, the Executive Director has legal authority to carry out any and all directives of the Board of Directors.
