The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer-fueled organization whose mission is to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improve the quality of life for the children and adults affected by these diseases. Our work is dramatically accelerating the research process through our varied research initiatives; we also provide extensive educational and support resources for patients and their families, medical professionals, and the public.

In addition, we lead federal and state-based advocacy campaigns to support medical research funding and improve patient access to care. The Foundation’s core values of compassion, integrity, leadership, collaboration, and inclusion inspire and drive every member of our highly performing team.

In partnership with the CDO, SVP of Field Leadership & Volunteer Engagement, and National Partners, the RD translates enterprise strategy into clear regional priorities, drives consistent execution, and fosters a high-performance culture grounded in ownership, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
