Executive Director

Position Profile

Since the 1980s, Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation has been part of the fabric of Enumclaw — not simply delivering services, but inspiring and weaving a culture of care across this community. For over four decades, RFWF has created the ways and means for neighbors to show up for neighbors: addressing hunger, expanding access to healthcare, supporting mental health, and walking alongside students and families across the greater Enumclaw area.

The Foundation is entering a new season, and we are looking for an Executive Director who can honor both the depth of that legacy and tend to the energy of what's next — someone who leads not from above, but from within.

The Executive Director is the steward of RFWF's mission, entrusted with carrying forward a vibrant, volunteer-driven organization into its next chapter of growth and impact. This is a role for someone who sees leadership as an act of care itself — who can sustain and inspire the people who invest in and animate this work, while casting a compelling vision for the future and honoring the relationships, traditions, and trust that generations of community members have co-created.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees and leading a team of 5+ staff alongside hundreds of dedicated volunteers, the Executive Director will:

• Steward Vision & Strategy
  — Guide long-range strategic planning that honors RFWF's roots while responding boldly to the community's evolving needs
• Cultivate Resources
  — Lead fundraising and development efforts that invite others into the mission, building sustainable support for the work
• Champion the Programs
  — Oversee and strengthen program operations that address hunger, healthcare access, mental health, and student support
• Lead & Empower People
  — Invest in, nourish and sustain the staff and deeply engaged volunteer community, recognizing volunteers as the heartbeat of this organization
• Tell the Story
  — Guide communications and marketing that reflect RFWF's voice and invite the broader community to fuel the innovation, generosity, and hope this work depends on.
• Ensure Sound Stewardship
  — Oversee compliance, HR, and administration with integrity and care, treating budgets as moral documents that reflect our values — and in doing so, safeguard the trust the community has placed in this organization.

This is an invitation to lead with vision, to steward what has been built with humility, and to help write the next chapter of a community's ongoing commitment to one another.

• Work with Board of Trustees to identify, create and implement strategic plans to actualize RFWF’s goals and objectives. This may include strategic planning meetings/retreats, forming and supporting related committees, etc.

• Develop partnerships with stakeholders, community partners and other relevant parties to develop and achieve goals and objectives outlined in strategic plans.
