What a Strong Candidate Would Look Like:

The Executive Director should be …

  • Consistent: Over 50% of nonprofit organizations and missionaries have left Haiti since 2018 because of the instability, lack of security, corruption, gang violence, etc. Holistic Haitian Alliance has a “Green Rating” with the Haitian government, which is a remarkable accomplishment.
  • Growth-minded: The Holistic Haitian Alliance is poised to grow and expand beyond its original vision. A high-capacity leader is needed to propel the team into the next season of growth and opportunity.
  • Strategic: A country-wide initiative for family strengthening is being launched. It will feature a $1.1M high school. Seizing opportunities for impact like this requires a more diverse donor base.
