Mind Matters Clinic Seeking Executive Director
Murphys, CA...Mind Matters, the Murphys based non-profit clinic that is noted for its innovative treatment of autism and similar disorders, is seeking to hire a full time Executive Director to guide it in taking its growth to the next level. The clinic was founded in 2007 by Dr. Ryan Thompson and his wife Kim as a result of their frustration in finding help for their son, Mitch, who is autistic. Over the years, the clinic has developed successful programs to help individuals and families to cope with the consequences of autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), and learning disabilities...
During this time, Thompson has functioned as the Chief Executive Officer and the Medical Director.
“As our organization continues to evolve, grow and mature, it has become apparent that a shift in leadership is necessary,” states Thompson. “We are now in a position to hire an Executive Director who can focus on the overall operations of our organization, expand our sphere of influence in the community and seek more opportunities to serve our clients. As Medical Director, I will be able to concentrate on delivering the highest quality of medical care.
“This is an exciting time for all of us as we take yet another step forward in our evolution.”
The responsibility for finding and hiring the ED rests with the all-volunteer Board of Directors. It is actively seeking applicants. The selected person will have responsibility for the overall administration of the clinic, its programs, day-to-day operations, staffing, and finances.
“What we are looking for is a leader who will embrace our mission with passion, rally the board and staff, engender enthusiasm for our cause among the greater community, and manage our organization with communication, care, and concern for all,” says Jan Alcalde, the Board Chair. “We want her, or him, to help us to build on what Dr. Thompson has created and help us grow into our fullest potential, as well as enrich our coffers. To borrow from Star Trek, to lead us on our “5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no nonprofit clinic has gone before…”
Dr. Thompson and the board have developed a comprehensive job description, which can be obtained at the clinic headquarters. The salary for the position will be $40,000 - $60,000 a year, commensurate with education and experience.
Those wishing to be considered for the job are asked to send a resume` and a covering letter to the clinic office, 150 Big Trees Rd., Suite E, Murphys CA 95247. The closing date is June 17.
Information about Mind Matters and its programs can be found on the clinic’s website, mindmattersclinic.org. The clinic’s phone number is (209) 728-2184. The email address is office@mindmattersclinic.org.
