As you may know, following the departure of the WSA’s Executive Director in July 2024, the Board of Trustees appointed Sarah Giddings, WSA’s Vice President of Programs and Services, as interim ED and created a search committee to look for a permanent replacement.
To ensure we find the best leader for our organization, the search committee is reaching out to our members and dedicated volunteers. Their insights and recommendations are invaluable to us, as are those of every member. We want our community to have a voice in this process!
You can see the position description here. You will see that the first essential qualification is:
Demonstrated passion for, and commitment to, empowering individuals with disabilities and their families, with a preference for professional or lived experience with WS, rare diseases, or developmental disabilities.
This is a key qualification, along with other important factors such as organizational leadership, community building, financial acumen, and fundraising capabilities.
If you know someone who not only has the necessary skills and experience but also possesses the dedication and empathy required to lead the William Syndrome Association, we would appreciate you letting us know. All applications should be submitted by November 1, 2024.
All communications regarding the Executive Director search should be sent to:
WSAexecutivedirector2024@gmail.com
The WSA improves the lives of those with Williams syndrome and with the right leadership we can do so much more.
-Bill Palmer, President WSA Board of Trustees 2024
-Ellen Hoch, Chair 2024 ED Search Committee
