The Clery Center seeks a dynamic and authentic leader to guide and realize its future for the position of Executive Director.
Clery Center is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating safer campus communities through education, policy, and advocacy. Founded in 1987 after the tragic murder of Jeanne Clery, the organization has been instrumental in shaping national policies, including the Clery Act, which mandates colleges and universities to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The Clery Center recently played a pivotal role in passing the federal Stop Hazing Act legislation in December 2024. The Act will help eradicate hazing on college campuses and ensure the safety and well-being of students.
The Executive Director (ED) serves as the chief executive and strategic leader to advance the mission, financial sustainability, and national impact of the organization. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the ED will provide visionary leadership, oversee operations, expand partnerships, and drive fundraising efforts to ensure Clery Center remains a leading voice in campus safety. The ED must be a dynamic leader with expertise in nonprofit management, strategic planning, fundraising, and advocacy. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of higher education policy, campus safety regulations, and the unique challenges faced by institutions in implementing compliance programs.
The Board prefers the person to be located in the Greater Philadelphia area. However, the Board is also open to having someone based between Boston and Washington, D.C., with the expectation of travel to key events, conferences, and meetings.
