The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is currently seeking its first Executive Director in Minnesota to join their growing organization.  This is a full time, exempt, hybrid role (a blend of work from home and in-person) based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.

The Executive Director (ED) provides strategic leadership in the Chapter’s chartered territory, manages human and financial resources, and creates an atmosphere for volunteers, staff, and stakeholders to succeed in meeting the objectives of APDA’s mission.  The ED will accomplish this through the development, implementation and evaluation of all Chapter programs and services, events, and operations necessary for efficient functioning and sustainable growth. The ED reports to a Regional Director and works in conjunction with the Chapter’s Board of Directors and with the support and approval of the APDA President and CEO and/or designee(s).
