Posted on: February 20, 2021

Job Description:

The Rogue Valley Council of Governments, established in 1968, has approximately 50 employees, a budget of approximately $9 million (most of it from Federal, State, and local governmental grants and contracts), and a wide range of services to the region encompassing Jackson and Josephine counties including: Senior Nutrition, Senior and Disability Services, Transportation Planning, Land Use Planning, Grant and Contract Administration, Natural Resources, Technology Services, and Special Member Services. Duties The Executive Director is responsible for ensuring the highest level of professionalism and service to the membership and region through active management of the organization's programs and operations. In the role of RVCOG's chief operations and administrative officer, the Executive Director maintains responsibility for strategic development, coordination, direction, and execution of the policies and programs of the agency, as well as informing and advising the RVCOG Board on policy issues and executing their directives. The Executive Director may also, as has been the case in the past, assume direct responsibility for the implementation of projects of special importance to the region. While RVCOG is undeniably an influential presence within the region, it is first and foremost a service organization, with its success tied directly to the quality of its programs and their relevance and responsiveness to the needs of its member jurisdictions and partner agencies. To ensure the continuation of the reputation RVCOG enjoys in the region, the Executive Director must set the tone of the organization by maintaining an up-to-date awareness of the needs of its members and the region, and by determining when and how RVCOG can be most useful in meeting those needs. Qualifications A bachelor's degree in public administration, business administration, planning, community development, or related field; a Master's degree is desirable. A minimum of 10 years of experience in an organizational leadership position, preferably in the public or non-profit sector and including local government administration, is required. RVCOG would also like to see candidates with a history of successful on-the-ground project implementation. A satisfactory equivalent combination of education, training, and experience which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the duties of the job will be considered.
