The National Council for Research on Women in New York, New York is undergoing great growth, and has hired the Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group to assist them as they expand their senior staff with this search.
About the National Council for Research on Women:
In societies across the country and around the world women still do not experience full and equal participation, without which children, families, and communities suffer, and half the world’s talents are squandered. While significant progress has been made, there is much more to do, and information and research are needed to understand unmet needs or injustices and drive resolutions forward. For 25 years, the National Council for Research on Women has helped shape the future for women and girls: it is a network of more than 100 leading U.S. research, advocacy, and policy centers with a growing global reach and more than 2,000 top-level researchers. The Council harnesses the resources of its network to ensure fully informed debate, policies, and practices to build a more inclusive and equitable world for women and girls.
The key to the Council’s past success and future growth has been highly-focused, accessible, timely research delivered through rapid-response communications campaigns, an informative website, and an active and informed network.
