If you love diversity, this is the job for you!

You crunch numbers for breakfast, chat arts and culture for lunch, and draft policy for dinner, with a side of solid communication skills for dessert. You have as much experience&nbsp;with&nbsp;staff development&nbsp;as&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;being&nbsp;governed&nbsp;by&nbsp;a&nbsp;non-profit&nbsp;board.&nbsp;You’re as open to learning from the community as you are to mentoring those around you, to ensure the financial and future sustainability of the KDCC. Your vision is clear, but you’re flexible and able to adapt. You give and receive feedback with grace. Like us, you’re inspired and motivated by the stories of this community, this land and these people.
