Executive Director - Texas

Organizational Summary

Boulder Crest Foundation is a pioneering nonprofit organization that exists to ensure that service members, veterans, first responders, and their families can thrive in the aftermath of struggle, stress, hardship, and trauma. For far too many of these remarkable men and women, the cost of service to community and country is the quality of their lives. Too often, that cost comes in the form of suicide - which claims the lives of 20 members of the military and veteran community daily;

and we lose more first responders than in the line of duty every year. We need a new and innovative approach and that is why Boulder Crest Foundation exists.

Boulder Crest is the global leader in the development, delivery, study, and scale of Post-traumatic Growth (PTG) based programs for times of struggle. As a $20+ million a year organization, Boulder Crest delivers these programs at our wellness centers in Arizona (Sonoita), Texas (Italy), and Virginia (Bluemont), through our Mobile Training Teams (MTT), and through partnerships with nonprofit organizations and first responder departments in more than a dozen states across the country.

The Boulder Crest Institute for Post-traumatic Growth is the leading global center focused on the theory, research, and application of Post-traumatic Growth, and is chaired by the founder of PTG, Dr Richard Tedeschi.

The Executive Director reports to the Vice President of Programs and Places and will have ultimate responsibility at the state and site level to ensure all assigned functions are executed to standard and with excellence. The Executive Director will provide a positive, encouraging, and professional attitude in keeping with Boulder Crest Foundation's core values (passion, kindness, competence, curiosity, and courage). The Executive Director assumes leadership of all organizational objectives in the state of Texas.

This includes taking care of People, Place, and Programs. It also includes establishing and growing our presence in the state and working collaboratively with Boulder Crest's Texas‑based Director of Development on initiatives to include, but not limited to, outreach and engagement (for awareness, volunteerism, program recruitment, and fundraising), logistics, off‑site training, and speaking engagements.
