The Executive Director also represents CADH and its members at the local, state and national level while working with our legislative liaison, auditor and other contracted professionals to ensure the success of the organization.

The candidate must possess a minimum of a Master’s Degree in Public Health or related field. A minimum of five years of supervisory and administrative experience are required, preferably in a public health organization. To succeed in this position, knowledge of or experience in the following areas will be critical: public policy, legislative advocacy, all aspects of grant writing and development, business administration, marketing and fund-raising. Familiarity with local and state public health agencies and public health practice is essential. The time commitment is dependent on the growth of the organization and the work schedule is flexible. While the position provides the opportunity for a flexible work schedule, the ideal candidate should be available for meetings during the day and occasionally evenings.
