As an organization develops and grows, both in its programs and its culture, the type of leader that is required changes as well. To recruit a new leader, you first have to identify the strategic goals of the organization and the skills and experience in a leader that would deliver on those goals. This process is one of the most important tasks facing any not-for-profit board.

One of the foundational documents in the recruitment process is the job description. Use this template as a building block to create a job description that encapsulates your organization's mission, future priorities, and desired leadership competencies.
