Boston Rising CEO search

Posted by thecastlegroup on December 17, 2009

Our client Boston Rising is searching for a new CEO.

Boston Rising is a start-up fund and grantmaking organization focused on fighting poverty in Boston.

Inspired by the Robin Hood Foundation, the Harlem Children’s Zone, and new approaches to empowering individuals and communities to chart their own paths out of poverty, Boston Rising will invest in the most innovative and effective strategies to break the cycle of poverty in Boston while engaging the next generation of philanthropists in the issues of economic inequality and urban poverty.
 
The Eos Foundation team is incubating Boston Rising along with a distinguished and committed group of business and civic leaders who comprise the Boston Rising Advisory Committee. In addition, Boston Rising benefits from the guidance of five national experts who, as Eos Fellows, are working closely to shape the initiative.

Boston Rising is seeking an entrepreneurial and passionate leader to serve as its first Chief Executive Officer. This exceptional CEO will lead all aspects of Boston Rising from its current start-up state to achieving its vision of an organization that will transform the fight on poverty across the city of Boston and serve as a national model.

We’re hoping the answer is yes — so far, it seems budgets and interest are increasing for 2010 marketing programs.
