Our client Community Support Connection has an opportunity to be a strategic partner to the Executive Director and Board while leading the financial stewardship of a respected, growing community organization. If you're looking to move away from a highly corporate environment into a role where your expertise has visible impact, we'd love to meet you!

Working with hundreds of amazing volunteers, donors, and community partners, they provide a wide range of community supports for older adults and people with different abilities to help them live at home with independence and dignity - something we all deserve. They are truly caring and client-centered, and are constantly innovating; looking for new and better ways to provide the best care and supports possible.
