A word from our Executive Director
|
It is with great excitement that I am writing to announce that Compañeros: Four Corners Immigrant Resource Center is beginning the search for a new position to join our team! We are officially opening the application process for a new Executive Co-Director (EcD) or Executive Director (ED), with applicants being free to choose which to apply to depending on their skill sets, experience, and interest. This new position has been carefully crafted to meet the needs that have emerged over our last several years of momentous growth into a larger, more impactful organization, and we believe that it will be instrumental in helping us achieve the goals laid out in our new three-year strategic plan.

This new position also represents an exciting moment for our organization, as I will be transitioning from my position as Executive Director which I have served in for nearly four and a half years. But don’t worry, I will not be leaving the organization, but rather just stepping aside to work alongside this new team member while supporting them in their work. I will be continuing to manage our grants, finances, and administration, which will allow this new position to focus more exclusively on managing our programs, staff, and local community representation. As our organization has grown nearly fivefold over my tenure as Executive Director, all of these duties have also grown in proportion, and we have concluded that dividing them between two separate positions will be the most effective way to make sure they all receive the attention they need and to strengthen the long-term sustainability of our leadership.
We have spent many months planning for this moment, and have designed a smooth transition process that will ensure the continuity of our mission, vision, programs, and impact. My continued presence, commitment, and support throughout and after this transition along with our clearly defined strategic plan will also guarantee that our direction and operations remain steadfast and stable as we grow and develop our leadership. We hope that you will support us by sharing this position with your networks or anyone you think could be interested in order to help us find the right fit for our team. On behalf of everyone at Compañeros, I want to thank you once again for your continued support of our work and our community, as it is thanks to you that we have been able to grow and develop to the strong and sustainable position where we are today that makes this leadership development possible. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Matt Karkut
Executive Director, Compañeros
