Hi Natasha,

As the dust settles from the recent generosity amplification and activation campaign of Give to the Max Day, I wanted to let you know about a new search we just launched yesterday for the next CEO of Vision Loss Resources, http://www.visionlossresources.org/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.visionlossresources.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cdavid.b.andrews%40state.mn.us%7C56469aac950f4c59eb8308dad17c51cf%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C638052629157412973%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zzniz3WIJqyqFoGvUMShywEYoHXgoEa0lm7LPes9hCQ%3D&reserved=0>.

As you might know, this is a planned leadership transition to identify Kate Grathwol's successor who has been at the helm for nearly 15 years.

Kate's bio -> https://www.linkedin.com/in/kategrathwol/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fkategrathwol%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cdavid.b.andrews%40state.mn.us%7C56469aac950f4c59eb8308dad17c51cf%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C638052629157412973%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=S0O1A%2B8%2FWeUbAcFLPN%2B35OzYMZFr3KwVRDqW1J9YKIM%3D&reserved=0>

VLR recently moved into an amazing new office and manufacturing facility in Little Canada right off of hwy 694 and Rice St in the north metro.

The board is seeking an entrepreneurial civic-minded leader who is aligned with VLR's mission and aspirations for continued growth and impact outlined in a recently completed strategic plan for 2023-2027.

The salary range is very competitive with a base salary range or $205,000 - $240,000 and eligibility for discretionary annual incentive bonus compensation.

The CEO leads a senior leadership team of 4 direct reports (Director-CPS, Director-Programs, Controller and HR Manager) and approximately 15 indirect reports on program teams and 30-50 hourly manufacturing employees depending on season.

The search is being led by a committee of board members including outgoing board chair, Andy Freeman, incoming board chair, Mary Bear-Dukes, and board members Celeste Schumacher, Susan Markey, Denise Raunig and Vanessa Bonn.

Kate's final day with VLR is April 1st and so we're moving with mindfulness and urgency in this outreach and exploration with client interviews at VLR anticipated in January.

I'm attaching a full position profile and linking to it below as well:

Thank you in advance for your time and discernment. Please let me know if you have any questions as I'd love to share more with you from our listening sessions with VLR staff and board members held over the past month.

Happy early Thanksgiving!
