POSITION OVERVIEW
The next national CEO will be a visionary leader with proven experience in nonprofit management, a passion for youth development, and an enthusiasm for fundraising who wants to leave a legacy that matters.
Through our network of affiliates across the country, Camp Fire’s impact is far-reaching. It demands an inclusive leader who embraces strengths and collaboratively develops and implements the next strategic plan.
POSITION SUMMARY
As Camp Fire is a national organization with 46 affiliates in 24 states and D.C., the CEO must advocate for the engagement of affiliate leaders and remain committed to a culture of distributed leadership.
The CEO will partner closely with the National Board of Trustees in achieving key board goals. The national board of trustees is comprised of executive-level leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners. They are committed to Camp Fire’s vision and values; they partner with the CEO and staff, bringing expertise in strategy setting, policy, and fiduciary oversight. The ability to connect staff to high-net-worth individuals, corporations, and foundations with significant capacity is essential. The CEO will be expected to dedicate time and effort to identify high-potential board prospects for the board’s consideration.
The CEO will both lead and support a strong headquarters team focused on meeting its obligations to the Camp Fire network. The affiliate Charter Agreement was completely redesigned, approved by the National Board of Trustees, effective as of February 1, 2019. The CEO and team will be expected to provide strong technical assistance and support to affiliates.
The CEO will lead innovation and transformative change. A top priority for Camp Fire is to continue to strengthen the capability of National Headquarters to collaborate with and support affiliates. The CEO will provide the strategic vision, creation, and implementation of the next five-year plan. The CEO must ensure application of effective business practices to ensure success.
The CEO will oversee a new strategy for headquarters/affiliate collaboration. National and affiliate leaders agree that the most effective strategy to secure more sustainable corporate and philanthropic support is through collaborative philanthropy-building. It will be essential for the CEO to lead the way in building credibility and trust in this program over time.

This is one reason we keep flexible schedules and value flexibility. We trust each other to complete tasks timely and to do high-quality work. We expect each other to show up in our roles and for the team and to work not just hard but smart. Our values reflect the standards to which we hold ourselves.
As a national headquarters serving a network of 46 affiliates in 24 states and D.C., you will find that everyone here is good at what they do. That is the beauty of a talented team in a trusting culture. We do great work individually and collectively.
