Org continues presidential search
RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Center for Nonprofits announced that it will extend its search for a new president, being unable to find the right candidate to fill the position.
The center’s founder, Jane Kendall, retired after presiding over the organization for 25 years. At the helm is acting president Trisha Lester who has agreed to continue serving in her post for the next few months.
Tim Delaney, president and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, said, “I applaud the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits’ Board of Directors for having the courage to realize that this first round didn’t uncover their ideal candidate and being nimble enough to move forward with a revised game plan. I am confident that they will find the leader that will help advance the missions of the Center and of all North Carolina nonprofits.”
More information and credential requirements are available online.
