The Foundation’s commitment to providing these services continues to be strong and success has been found in their passion for furthering the Kingdom of Christ through meeting the needs of the community it serves. This commitment includes strengthening its leadership team and continuing to provide a growing, sustainable revenue base to meet current and future opportunities. In doing so, the Foundation is seeking an individual who will serve as the Chief Development Officer with responsibility for developing and implementing a comprehensive marketing and business development program to support the Foundation’s mission.

He/She will direct a team of 6 field staff, some of which will be in Hillsboro, Kansas and some in Fresno, California.

The ideal candidate will be a growing disciple of Jesus Christ, embrace the Mennonite Brethren community, and be an active participant in his/her home Christian church. The Chief Development Officer will have a discernible track record of success in developing and implementing a wide range of business development programs and initiatives to include marketing, branding, communications and client relations. The successful candidate will have shown the ability to be successful in identifying and cultivating networks and relationships resulting in business opportunities with existing and new clients for the full range of programs and services the Foundation provides. In addition, this individual will seek out and build partnerships, collaborating with a wide range of individuals and organizations to further identify and develop new ministry opportunities. To further support these efforts, the Chief Development Officer will ensure Planned Giving Advisors and other staff have the direction, tools and support needed to acquire new business opportunities and provide a high level of client service with excellence and integrity to all clients and constituencies.
