    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.

    team, and foster a culture of trust, cohesiveness, and accountability. Strategic Vision and Execution Create and implement a clear and concise short and mid-term strategic plan to increase revenue, grant more wishes, and enhance organizational culture. 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. Brand Advancement Intentionally enhance stakeholder relationships and commitment to Make-A-Wish while increasing brand awareness and engagement through effective messaging, community outreach, relationship-building, partnership collaboration, and purposeful calls-to-action.
