• Company: Metropolitan Council For Educational Opportunity (METCO)

The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity, Inc. (METCO), the largest and best-known voluntary school desegregation program in the United States, seeks a President & Chief Executive Officer. Established during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement, the METCO program was designed to provide the opportunity for children from racially imbalanced schools in Boston and children from isolated suburban schools to learn together in an integrated, racially and ethnically diverse public-school setting. Over the last 59 years, METCO has facilitated the graduation of more than 100,000 alumni. Today, METCOs 3,300 Boston resident students attend public schools in 33 participating districts in metropolitan Boston.

A robust, 20-year longitudinal study has demonstrated data which is clear that METCO works! METCO students are high achieving in MCAS scores, graduation rates, college admission rates, and employment and income rates.

METCO as a longstanding leader in the field, strives to continue to create impact in the area of voluntary school integration within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and across the nation to promote school inclusion, close the achievement gap, and overcome racial barriers.

As the second oldest voluntary inter-district school assignment program in the country dedicated to increasing diversity and reducing racial isolation, the METCO Program is unique. On September 6, 1966, the first 220 Boston students rode on buses to classrooms in seven suburban communities in Massachusetts to amplify academic, emotional, and social support needed to succeed not only in K-12, but also post-secondary, education. The receiving districts also benefit by having the opportunity to experience a variety of cultures, while being enveloped in experiences and dialogue that would not be possible without this cross-cultural exchange. The creation of this network lends itself to the creation of global citizens who will ultimately impact our world.

Funded by the State Legislature under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 76; Section 12A and administered by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), METCO, Inc. is a private, nonprofit organization that serves as the headquarters, providing administrative and support services including, but not limited to, student placement, transportation planning, student counseling, family and student advocacy, tutoring, and liaising with suburban communities.

The METCO, Inc. Board of Directors is responsible for providing strategic leadership, ensuring fiscal stewardship, setting policy and governance consistent with METCOs mission, and advancing the organizations philanthropic priorities. In addition to these collective responsibilities, individual Board members are expected to complete Board assignments and work collaboratively with METCOs staff to support organizational success. The Board consists of up to 18 members and has a minimum of 6 meetings per year.

METCO, Inc. has a staff of approximately 18 members. Direct reports to the President & Chief Executive Officer will include the Chief Student Services and Enrollment Officer, the Chief Administration and Finance Officer, and the Chief Development Officer.

METCO, Inc. operates with a budget of approximately $3M. Funding for the METCO program and participating school districts is supported by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In its next chapter, a more robust and strategic philanthropic plan will be necessary to strengthen its revenue and enhance opportunities for METCO students and families.

As METCO builds on its past successes and shapes its future, the organization seeks a dynamic President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to ensure the effective delivery and ongoing refinement of an excellent program for students and families. Upholding METCOs mission and core values, the next President & CEO will identify how the program may be strengthened to respond to current challenges around school integration and educational equity.

Building on the legacy of its past leaders while leading efforts to elevate the visibility of the METCO brand, the successful President & CEO will continue to expand its network of support, and modernize METCO, Inc.s operations.

Reporting to the METCO, Inc. Board of Directors, the President & CEO will collaborate with the Board and other constituents to establish the organizations strategic direction and lead its success in day-to-day operations.

Washington Womens Foundation (WaWF) is a strong and inclusive collective of informed women who together influence community transformation through individual and collective discovery, high-impact grant making and by listening to and respecting all voices in our community. At a critical time in WaWFs history we are seeking an inspirational and innovative President & CEO to lead WaWF. WaWF believes it is more important now than ever, in this time of pandemic, economic devastation, and racial injustice reckoning, to find a leader who understands these challenges and has the experience and vision to help define WaWFs role in addressing them.

The President & CEO will build upon a rich 25-year history of collective grantmaking that empowered women to see that by working together, they could learn and give with greater impact. With WaWFs recent adoption of a strategic framework focused on advancing equity and becoming an anti-racist organization, the next President & CEO will help co-create new, creative and bold actions to fuel a thriving nonprofit sector and meet the demands of the moment.

Washington Womens Foundations vision is to change the course of womens philanthropy through the power of collective grantmaking. Through our collective grantmaking model, we leverage the resources of individual women to make large-scale, high-impact grants, benefitting nonprofit organizations throughout Washington State. We pioneered the concept of womens large-scale, collective grantmaking and our model has inspired scores of other organizations around the country and throughout the world. As a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, WaWF funds its operations and grantmaking through contributions, which primarily come from our 360 members who contribute a minimum of $2,500 each year. Membership is open to all who identify as women.

Since its founding in 1995, WaWF has made grants totaling more than $9 million. We collectively make grants to organizations in Washington State in five areas our founders believed were the foundational elements of a thriving community - Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Health, and Human Services. Our current annual grantmaking includes grants of 100,000 in each of the 5 areas and additional smaller grants focused on specific issues. WaWFs annual operating budget of 1.4M fuels our grantmaking and more than 50 workshops and educational programs each year, almost all of which are open to guests and community partners.

Our collective grantmaking model and educational programming empower women with the knowledge and tools they need to become more informed, strategic philanthropists and more confident, skilled community leaders. WaWF members are influential change agents who lead by example in the community and continually enrich our collective with new perspectives. At our core, we are a membership organization with member voices that are engaged and invested in shaping WaWFs future.

WaWF was founded by women who experienced exclusion from traditional philanthropy on the basis of gender, and established the organization to harness the power of womans collective grantmaking. Yet, we acknowledge that much of institutional philanthropy, including WaWF, continues to exclude many voices and it is critical that we work towards increasing the diversity of our membership as well as in our grantmaking. We know that by bringing a broader range of lived experiences, perspectives and voices into the conversation we will achieve more strategic grantmaking, make sounder decisions, and produce better outcomes. We want our collective to reflect and represent the changing demographics of the region and know that creating a more diverse and genuinely inclusive culture begins first with ourselves. We need to understand and counteract the systems built and maintained by systemic oppression. Our goal is to advance equity through building relationships, sharing power, embracing discomfort, listening and respecting all voices in the community in order to live our values with greater impact.

We also see inequity continuing to grow at unprecedented levels in our communities not just economic inequity but disparities in education, access to healthcare and housing, environmental impacts, creative expression, political participation, and civic engagement. Our recognition of these growing disparities and the fact that organizations led by and serving people of color have historically received less funding from the philanthropic sector sparked a multiyear process, engaging our staff, board, members and community to build a new strategic framework.

One of the outcomes of that process was to adopt new criteria focused on increasing racial and gender equity and reducing disparities, starting with our 2019 grantmaking cycle. We acknowledge there is not a specific roadmap toward equity that we can simply adopt and follow, that the philanthropic sectors concepts and ideas are continuing to evolve, and that our legacy of being a learning organization, willing to test, try and adapt, will continue to serve us in good stead as we go forward. We refer to our transformation as a journeya continual learning process, guided by humility, that keeps WaWF vital in a rapidly changing world.

With new grant criteria in place, we must now evolve our grantmaking methods in order to more effectively address the current challenges facing our communities in Washington State. We are beginning to envision innovative grantmaking models, and we have new initiatives in the pipeline as we continue to build deeper relationships with our philanthropic and nonprofit partners. However, we are just beginning this phase of our transformation, so there is still much work to be done.
