• Experience designing and executing fundraising strategies, including cultivating donors, securing grants, and building long-term partnerships.
• Deep commitment to BMHA’s mission, values, and the communities we serve.
• Excellent communication, public speaking, and interpersonal skills; ability to inspire and influence diverse audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (MS, MA, MBA, PhD, PsyD, EdD, JD) preferred.
• At least 10 years of progressive leadership experience in nonprofit management.
• Strong experience in community engagement, advocacy, and working across diverse cultural groups.
