GOALS:        
Girl Scouting is the world’s preeminent
membership organization of girls and women.  The
historic merger of three councils serving west
Texas and southern New Mexico, part of a broad
national realignment of councils, will occur in May
2009.  The transformation of the council
organization will lead to efficiencies, enhanced
operational systems, and a higher capacity model
of services to bring both traditional programs and
up to date leadership development opportunities to
more girls than ever before.  This presents a
unique opportunity for a dynamic, energetic and
skilled executive to lead the integration process
and to build on the successes of the councils
currently serving girls in this region.  This
reorganization of councils is dedicated to providing
the girls of Texas and New Mexico with world-
class program and leadership development
programs that will make this council a recognized
national leader.

The CEO is accountable for providing leadership,
strategic direction, and vision for the development
and achievement of the organization’s mission in
partnership with the council’s Board of Directors.  
The CEO works closely with the Board of
Directors and senior management team to shape
the council business strategy.  The CEO provides
direction and guidance to the council in the
development of goals and objectives to execute
and implement the strategy within the framework
of the organization’s policies and standards.  The
CEO advises, recommends, and assists the council
Board of Directors in the formulation of policies
governing the council and implements policies and
directives of the Board.  The CEO works
collaboratively with members of the management
team to direct the council’s day-to-day
operations.  This position will be filled in
January/February 2009.
     
BACKGROUND:        A minimum of 5 years’
comparable executive level experience is
required.  In addition, we seek a person of the
highest integrity with demonstrated competency
across a broad range of executive and managerial
functions appropriate to non-profit organizations of
comparable size, including board relations,
communications, financial management, fund
development, planning, program delivery,
marketing, and staff/volunteer relations.   
Demonstrated leadership in organizations
undergoing rapid transformation is highly
desirable.   The successful candidate will possess a
minimum of an undergraduate degree, with
advanced education and training preferred.  
Corporate executives with a demonstrated record
of leading highly customer-centered organizations
are encouraged to apply.

STATISTICS:        10,800+ girl and 3,300+
dedicated adult members.  The Council’s
jurisdiction is encompassed by  Texas including
and west of Gaines, Martin, Howard, Glasscock,
Reagan and Crockett counties; and New Mexico
including and south of Grant, Sierra, Lincoln,
Chaves and Lea counties.   Major urban centers
include the Texas cities of El Paso, Odessa,
Midland, and Alamogordo, Artesia, Carlsbad, Las
Cruces and Roswell in New Mexico.  This
represents a mix of urban and rural communities
with high and low population densities.  The new
Council’s budget is expected to be $3.6 million.  
The Councils’ combined facilities include 22
offices, service centers, resident and day camps.  
Combined Councils’ staff presently consists of 52
full and part-time employees, plus seasonal staff.

Girl Scouting is strongly supportive of a multi-
cultural society, and serves the interests of girl
members from all communities.  Individuals
representative of our multi-cultural society are
encouraged to explore this extraordinary
opportunity.
