Organizational Overview:
Founded in 1985, Bebashi was the first Black-led and Black-serving organization in the United States to address the AIDS crisis. The organization was launched as a full-service HIV/AIDS organization with special interest in serving low-income people of color with HIV disease. It remains one of Philadelphia’s largest community-based minority providers of HIV/AIDS education and services.
Bebashi has built on this rich history by continuing to provide the critical services of HIV medical case management and prevention to predominantly low-income, African American clients. Today, Bebashi has expanded programming directly informed by the needs of their clients including hunger relief services, navigation services, and programming and education for LGBTQ+ participants.
Position Overview:
Bebashi seeks a visionary and passionate culture builder and leader of leaders for its next Executive Director. They will work closely with the Board and staff to determine the organization’s next phase of growth, to include: the business development and programmatic initiatives on which to focus resources; strengthening organizational infrastructure, capacity, and culture; engaging and leveraging the Board’s skills and role; and raising and diversifying sustainable funds in a continually evolving environment.
The ideal candidate will be energized by and skilled in development and execution of strategy, raising the public profile of the organization while building relationships with partners and funders, and advancing an organizational culture of excellence. Experience in health policy and community-based health serving communities of color is preferred. A foundational understanding of inequities in the public health system and becoming a public champion for Bebashi’s mission is a must.
