On behalf of Craft3’s Board of Directors and employees, I am excited to share an important milestone in our continuing search for Craft3’s next Chief Executive Officer. Earlier today, we published an updated Position Profile to guide our search.

CEO Position Profile

The Position Profile may be found with the button above or from the Careers section of the Craft3 website. Information on inquiries, nominations, and applications can be found within the Position Profile. The position is open until filled.

We’re proud to be working with Herd Freed Hartz on this executive search. As a member of Craft3’s Board of Directors and chair of our CEO Search Committee, I want to thank the many voices from across Craft3 that have supported this continuing search and whose perspectives shaped both an earlier phase, and the profile and recruitment effort now underway. While the search process continues, the Board is especially thankful for the ongoing leadership provided by President and interim CEO Bruce Brooks.

Thank you for helping us spread the word on this exciting news. Identifying Craft3’s next CEO represents an incredible opportunity for our organization and the people we serve to build a thriving, just and empowered Pacific Northwest.
