CEO

Job Location: MO – Springfield
Employment Type: Full-Time (Regular)

Job Summary

Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland is the product of the joining of resources and ambitions of five
legacy councils. The council is seeking a highly motivated and dynamic executive to continue to unify
and lead the council by embracing its vision as the premier leadership development experience for
girls in central and southern Missouri, southeast Kansas, and northeast Oklahoma. Girl Scouting helps
girls discover their own sense of self, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take
action to make the world a better place.

The new CEO, in partnership with the board, will be charged with expanding opportunities for girls in
the communities served. While honoring the traditions of Girl Scouting, the CEO will provide highly
visible and dynamic leadership to advance a vibrant and challenging environment for girl and adult
members and volunteers from all the communities it serves.

Reporting to the council’s board of directors, the CEO will bring leadership, strategic direction, and
vision to the council, capitalizing on the strengths of its 4,900-plus volunteers and 62 staff to meet the
needs of 17,400-plus girls. The CEO promotes Girl Scout visibility and is an ambassador of Girl
Scouting in the council’s jurisdiction, the “go-to” person on girls’ issues in central and southern Missouri.
Key objectives include increasing membership in all communities, building a foundation of fiscal strength
based on diversification of income, and taking the council to a new level of operations in a digital and
media-savvy environment. Essential is the ability to engender support in the various communities
encompassed by the council: small cities, suburbs, and rural areas. In addition to a normal office
schedule, this position requires evening and weekend meetings and event participation as well as
travel for professional conferences and leadership and management development opportunities.

The CEO will have significant functional responsibility for fundraising and development initiatives,
management of senior leadership staff, and the achievement of established diversity goals for council
operations. Additional responsibilities include financial accountability for the $4.7 million annual
budget and substantial property accountability for its headquarters, a satellite office, four service
centers, and 11 camp properties. The successful CEO will inspire staff to work to their fullest potential
and make maximum use of the strong volunteer base of the council. EOE

Job Qualifications

The CEO will possess solid C-level business skills as well as demonstrated dedication and support for
the advancement of young people. A minimum of 10 years senior level experience is desired, with five
or more years of executive experience leading organizations through transformational change. In
addition, we seek excellence across a broad range of executive and managerial functions, including
financial management, fund development, business development, planning, board relations,
staff/volunteer relations, and the use of social media for business communications. It is expected that
candidates will possess a minimum of an undergraduate degree or equivalent mix of education,
training, and experience with advanced education and training in fields relating to nonprofit leadership
preferred.

Personal attributes of the CEO will include a girl-centered attitude, dedication to the mission of Girl
Scouting at all times, and the drive to be the voice for girls throughout the communities served. The
CEO will be a person of strong ideals, integrity, and vision who has strategic and operational planning
abilities and who can serve as a role model of best management practices and solid decision making.
The new CEO will possess a style of leadership that embraces partnerships, that is collaborative, and
that empowers stakeholders to achieve their highest potential, all the while meeting mutually agreed
upon accountability measures.
