Columbus, Ohio [November 20, 2019]— The Delta Gamma Foundation is currently conducting a search for its next Executive Director to lead the Foundation staff in Columbus, Ohio.

The Executive Director position is a full-time, 12-month contract, benefits eligible position reporting to the Chairman of the Delta Gamma Foundation Board of Trustees.

The next Executive Director will be an experienced major gift fundraiser who serves as the chief development officer for a variety of development initiatives implemented by the Foundation. The Executive Director is responsible for providing leadership and vision, directing daily operations, and furthering the long-term goals of the organization while maintaining a regular schedule of travel throughout the United States and Canada to steward existing donors as well as to build and cultivate new donors.
