[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From: "Julie Davids" <jdavids at champnetwork.org>


The Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP) is conducting a 
national search for an executive director.

CHAMP is a national nonprofit organization that is building a movement 
for HIV prevention justice that bridges HIV/AIDS, human rights, and 
struggles for social, racial and economic justice. We seek an executive 
director to build on its success and shape the organization in its next 
phase of growth.

Since its founding in 2003, CHAMP has created a strong national network 
of women of color, gay men of all races, transgender people, current and 
former drug users and youth – the very populations most at risk of HIV 
infection – along with other members of the AIDS service and advocacy 
sectors, in order to ensure the development and use of a broad and 
effective range of HIV prevention options, programs and policies in the 
next decade.

CHAMP has provided trainings to build the capacity of thousands of 
activists and community leaders across the country; successfully 
influenced the policies of both CDC and the NIH; built an extended 
network of more than 13,000 people; and attained national news coverage 
for issues of HIV prevention justice in outlets such as The New York 
Times, CNN, NPR and The Washington Post.

In five years, the organization has grown to an annual budget of a 
half-million dollars and a staff of six full-time employees and one 
part-time employee -- without using funding from the pharmaceutical 
industry or government sources.

CHAMP currently has a staff of four full-time employees and one 
part-time employee. Its central office is based in New York City, with 
additional staff located in Philadelphia and Providence, Rhode Island. 
The position will be based in CHAMP's New York City office, with some 
travel required.

The ideal candidate will be a proven leader and nonprofit manager, 
possessing both an understanding of HIV/AIDS and strong roots in 
movements for social justice.

Qualified candidates will also have the ability to communicate 
effectively in a range of environments with a diverse group of 
stakeholders, including grassroots activists, academic researchers, the 
media, service providers and elected and appointed policymakers.

The board of directors is open to young, upcoming leaders as well as 
more seasoned candidates.

The outgoing executive director, who is also the organization's founder, 
will continue to work with CHAMP on programs and strategy development. 
She will work closely with the new executive director and the board of 
directors to provide insight and input throughout the leadership 
transition process to help ensure its success.

Compensation is competitive with nonprofits of similar size, and 
benefits include medical/dental coverage, an excellent vacation package 
and a paid sabbatical every four years.
