CEO, Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership

[Cleveland Justis]

For 60 years, the Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership has been the connective tissue of the nonprofit sector across Northern California - building leaders, strengthening organizations, and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of volunteers to show up for their communities.

Now they're searching for the leader who will carry that legacy forward and make a great organization even better.

This is not a startup. This is not a turnaround. This is a well-rooted, well-regarded $6M institution with real depth, real relationships, and a genuine opportunity to grow its impact. The incoming CEO will inherit a strong foundation and a clear mandate: modernize, deepen, and scale.

If you're an experienced executive who leads with both vision and humility — and who believes that the social sector deserves the same caliber of leadership as any other sector — I'd encourage you to take a look.

Salary: $200,000–$230,000. Based in Santa Rosa/San Rafael. Target start: June/July 2026.
