NonProfit Board Member -- Marketing Skills

Save to Favorites

GLAVREF seeks a Marketing Professional with experience in marketing communications, organizational messaging, branding, reputation, and organizational public relations management. We seek a leader to provide guidance and assist board and staff with understanding the value of marketing and external communications to advance our mission. We prefer a candidate who has familiarity with social media and emerging networking technology and the ability to connect GLAVREF to media networks and partners who can identify and connect the organization to public relations opportunities to increase our reach. Experience creating and telling compelling stories on behalf of an organization or brand is a plus. This individual should have prior nonprofit board member experience.

GLAVREF supports research focused on health issues with direct relevance to Veterans. In support of these efforts, GLAVREF provides diverse services to investigators and project personnel through grants and contracts administration, human resources management, and technical support for grant submissions. GLAVREF also supports initiatives and education activities for VA clinicians and investigators.

GLAVREF is a VA-Affiliated research foundation also known as a non-profit corporation (NPCs). These like-minded institutions are based on a federally authorized statute passed in 1988. Today, GLAVREF is one of 79 active VA-affiliated research and education non-profits serving VA across the country. We recommend that Board members review and understand the authorizing statute(s). A very informative overview of the characteristics of the NPCs is posted on the National Association of Veterans Research and Education Foundations website at www.navref.org.
