Executive Director Recruitment Assistance at Thunder Valley CDC
After over a decade of building and growing with Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation (TVCDC), Nick Tilsen is transitioning from his Executive Director role to a position on the Board of Directors. To learn more about his transition watch this short video from Nick.
As TVCDC staff and Board begin the search for our next dynamic and innovative Executive Director, I wanted to reach out to ask your help in spreading the word about our opening! We will be actively recruiting from February 15th to April 1st 2018, and interested candidates can email a cover letter, resume, writing sample (2-5 pages), and media or communications samples (audio or video interview, published writing/quotes, etc…) to jobs@thundervalley.org, indicating “Executive Director” in the subject line.
As outlined in the position description we are looking for someone aligned to our organizations mission of Empowering Lakota Youth and families to improve the health, culture, and environment of our communities through the healing and strengthening of cultural identity, with a desire to be a part of a growing and constantly evolving organization. If there is anyone in your network you think may be a fit for the role we’d love for you to pass along the position description and application details!
What started as an idea a little over a decade ago has turned into an institution of radical change. We are so thankful for Nick’s tenacity and commitment to building TVCDC into the organization it is today, and we are so excited to see TVCDC continue to grow and create change under the direction of a new Executive Director. Thank you for your help in generating a stellar candidate pool for this great opportunity!
