POSITION: Executive Director

ORGANIZATION: National Women’s Health Network

JOB-TYPE:

Organization Description

About the National Women’s Health Network The National Women’s Health Network (NWHN) was founded in 1975, outside the doors of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where the organization’s founders protested on behalf of women who died from estrogen-containing drugs. Over the years, the work of the NWHN has protected and saved women’s lives, including, notably, a decrease in breast cancer rates when millions of women stopped taking menopause hormone therapy after NWHN research showed the therapy increased the risk of breast cancer. From those early watchdog days to today’s successful campaigns such as banning unsafe and unregulated cosmetics, the Network has grown into a national membership organization of more than 2,000 women’s health advocates. The Network and its membership work toward a just health system that reflects the needs of all women, including women of color, low income women, immigrant women, young women, women with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The NWHN is committed to remaining independent and representative, and does not accept money from pharmaceutical or insurance companies.

About the Position

As the organization approaches its 50th anniversary, it seeks an Executive Director to usher in a new day and era for the NWHN. Currently a team of seven staff, with a $1.2M budget, the organization seeks a leader who can grow the presence and prowess of the Network to meet the moment. The Executive Director is responsible for guiding the strategic direction of the organization, both internally and externally; and will oversee fundraising, communications, programs, and operations. The Executive Director serves as a spokesperson for the Network, and trusted partner to its members and allied organizations. Building upon the successes of its predecessors and with a focus on bringing more people to the table, the core priorities for both the Network and its new leader include:

Impacting the health care system to produce more equitable outcomes and provide universal and affordable health coverage that meets the needs of all women.
Impacting federal and state policy on abortion and contraception to ensure that people of all ages, races, geographies, and gender identities have accurate information and unrestricted access to patient-centered care.
Protecting the health of all women by fighting corporate influence on health care; including challenging disease mongering, dangerous drugs and devices, inappropriate marketing, unregulated products, and high prices.
Communicating about women’s health in a way that resonates with diverse audiences and builds visibility, awareness, and power in support of the NWHN’s longterm goals.
Demonstrating the organization’s commitment to the values of justice, equity, and diversity through sustained investment in internal systems and external programs.
