Position Overview President and Chief Executive Officer Community Foundation of Louisville Louisville, Kentucky The Community Foundation of Louisville (the Foundation or CFL) seeks a collaborative, inspiring, and consensus-building President and Chief Executive Officer (President) to build on its progress as a robust, growing charitable organization. The President will lead its stakeholders to establish the future direction of the organization as it continues to grow in assets, reach, and impact. With its new President, CFL expects to build on its successes. As the Foundation looks to the future, it plans to engage in a collaborative process that will further clarify its mission and values, develop clear aspirations for the future, evaluate organizational activities with a sharp and objective eye, and implement a focused strategic plan with clear data-driven goals and measurable outcomes. The new President also will support the current momentum of existing initiatives such as exceptional donor service, organizational excellence, grants strategies, healthy institutional culture, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the Foundation’s life and work. This President will align internal resources to ensure that staff is deployed in the most strategic manner. Looking ahead, this President will communicate and implement best practices from other community foundations that have successfully made the strategic transition to greater community impact. To accomplish all of this will require an inclusive, transparent, and consultative leader who inspires, stewards, and reconciles a broad and diverse set of stakeholders, including the Board of Directors, Foundation staff, donors, and a range of community leaders. This next President will work to ensure that CFL remains robust and continues to grow; that excellence is maintained and valued; and that programs and partnerships exist to maximize influence and impact.
