Quaker Voluntary Service is looking for our next Executive Director and we would love your help. I'd be very appreciative if you could spend time considering who in your circles is a potential applicant.
One of the wonders of Quakerism is the emphasis on seeing one anothers' gifts and naming those gifts. Most people I know in leadership were nudged into applying by someone who saw their gifts. I'm sure you have experienced this over the years.
So, please, if you can, consider if there are Friends for whom the Quaker Voluntary Service Executive Director position might be the right next step, and let them know you see their gifts!
Additionally, if you have access to listservs or bodies of Friends who might have interest, please pass this along.
I'm including here a blurb about the position:
Quaker Voluntary Service (QVS) is now accepting applications for a new Executive Director. You would be a great fit for this position if you believe Quaker spirituality has something to offer social justice movements and young adults; you have interest and skills at administration and financial management; and you have experience working with nonprofit structures, including board collaboration and staff supervision and management. See the full job description at https://quakervoluntaryservice.org/employment/.

ExecSearch@quakervoluntaryservice.org. Interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis as applications arrive, with priority given to applications received by April 15, 2025. Desired start date is July 1, 2025, but can be flexible for the right candidate.
