Scion Executive Search (SES) has been retained to conduct a search for the VP of Early Education on behalf of our unparalleled client, Community Action Marin! The VP of Early Education leads a team of over 150 early childhood education staff across multiple sites that currently serves over 500 children of low income, and almost 1,000 pre-pandemic. They also oversee an annual budget of $12 million from federal, state, county, and private sources. This fantastic opportunity is full-time, located in Marin County, California, and operates on a flexible hybrid schedule. The VP of Early Education will be expected to collaborate onsite with team members and staff.
ABOUT COMMUNITY ACTION MARIN:
Community Action Marin (CAM)’s mission is to promote members of Marin County to achieve well-being by providing them with the education, mental health, and vital services they need. CAM works to actively break down the barriers that impede access and ability for individuals to support themselves and each other.
Marin County is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places to live in the United States. While it has some of the highest incomes per capita and one of the lowest unemployment rates, it also holds claim to the widest income gap and one of the greatest racial inequities in the State of California. The cost of living in Marin has risen 48% in just the past four years, and families are struggling to make ends meet. Right now, a family of four with two adults, one infant, and one preschooler would need to earn $149,545 annually – an amount 82% greater than the federal poverty level of $26,500 – to cover all the family’s basic expenses, such as housing, food, childcare, health care, transportation, and taxes without public or private assistance.
When community members need help, CAM’s duty is to meet them where they are, put them first, listen to their needs, and give them more than just the tools to meet the basic requirements for survival. CAM’s bilingual and bicultural staff ensures that people are heard—from immediate needs to making long-lasting change a reality in support of equity and prosperity for all!
POSITION OVERVIEW:
Community Action Marin’s VP of Early Education will be tasked with representing the agency internally as part of the Executive Leadership Team and working externally as an early childhood advocate for the agency’s services, whole family approach, and high-quality ECE program.
