Executive Director

The Role

The Executive Director plays a key role in supporting the day-to-day operations, programs and overall success of the NACD Florida Chapter. This is a highly visible position that combines strategic implementation, board collaboration, and sponsor engagement.

Working closely with the Chapter Board, the Executive Director helps deliver high impact programming, foster membership engagement, and cultivate sponsorship relationships. Through these efforts, the Executive Director contributes to an environment where directors can exchange perspectives, strengthen judgment and enhance their governance practices.

This role is part-time (25–30 hours per week) and will be supported by a part-time Chapter Administrator and contract resources (e.g., bookkeeping, design work) as needed. The workload is heavier from September through May when NACD Florida runs programs and lighter in the summer months, thus providing a flexible structure with high strategic impact.
