Description
About Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses. This impact is why Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles (GLA) is driven to make every one of these wishes come true. The inspiration and vision for Make-A-Wish began in Phoenix, Arizona in 1980 when a community came together for Christopher James Greicius, a 7-year-old boy battling leukemia, whose wish was to be a police officer. Receiving a custom-tailored uniform, a motorcycle helmet, and his very own battery-operated motorbike, the magic of that one wish created a movement. Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the U.S. and its territories. Make-A-Wish GLA carries out its impactful work with a dedicated staff of 21. The Chapter partners with community volunteers to deliver its programs and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Across the region, the chapter works to grant approximately 330 life-changing wishes each year. About the Opportunity Make-A-Wish GLA, one of the nation's most recognized nonprofits seeks a dynamic and inspiring Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to successfully guide the Chapter into the future. With a dedicated staff, a strong board, and an engaged volunteer force, the selected candidate will be well-positioned to make a significant mission impact.

Board Engagement & Effectiveness In partnership with the board chair, recruit, retain, and engage a diverse and effective Board of Directors and Committees, leverage their strengths to advance the mission, and provide the transparency necessary for effective governance.
