Friends, we're looking for an Interim President who believes in the power of collaboration, racial equity, and social change ✊

For 30 years, IISC has been at the forefront of collaborative transformation: helping organizations, networks, and movements build the capacity to create a more just and equitable world. Now, as we step into our next chapter, we're looking for someone to help us get there.

What you'll bring:

- 5+ years of experience as an Interim Leader, Executive Director, or nonprofit consultant

- Strong racial equity, diversity, and inclusion values and practices

- Roots in capacity building, social change, or organizational development

- A track record of building relationships and raising resources

What we offer:

- 12 - 18 month full-time engagement (fully remote)

- $131,700 - $151,600 salary

- 4-day workweek + full benefits (medical, dental, vision for you and your family)

- A team that leads with love - seriously!

Love makes us more intelligent, more open, and better able to see each other clearly. So why isn’t it built into our systems?

In this recent blog, our own Curtis Ogden explores what it would look like to treat love as something our organizations actually need.

Drawing on the work of Richard Barrett, Humberto Maturana, and Barbara Fredrickson, he reminds us that love shapes how we think, relate, and navigate hard moments.

A few takeaways:

- Most systems weren’t built for today’s complexity

- Under pressure, the most important things often go unsaid

- Our structures either support care and honesty, or block them

So the question is:

What would it look like to design systems where people can stay human, even under pressure?

Where do you see that happening (or not)?

If you’ve been wondering what the FSNE 21-Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge offers, this reflection from Rev. Dr. Sara Garrard says it better than we could:

"The Challenge has been transformative, both personally and in the communities in which I serve...Each day offers concrete practices that build habit and courage, moving us from awareness to accountability. It doesn't shy away from complexity, yet it invites participation at every level. It has deepened my capacity to lead with equity, transformed how I engage systemic issues in my work, and equipped me with tools to accompany others on this essential journey toward collective liberation."

You’ll deepen your understanding of racial equity. You’ll build the habits, language, and awareness to engage it in your everyday life. And you’ll join a community of 300+ people across 32 states, learning and growing together!

If you’ve been thinking about joining, there’s still time. Register to start the challenge on April 20: https://interactioninstitute.org/fsne-21-day-challenge/
