The Indian Law Resource Center is an American Indian nonprofit organization providing legal help without charge to indigenous peoples in the United States and throughout the Americas.\u00a0 For over 45 years, the Center has championed the cause of American Indian and indigenous peoples, demanding justice, equality, and respect for indigenous peoples’ human rights. Together with Indian and Alaska Native nations, we have not only defined but also created new human rights at the international level. We have many times confronted forces that threatened to undermine Indian sovereignty and emerged victorious in national and international legal and policy arenas. The Center’s work has raised awareness of systemic inequities and has transformed attitudes rooted in ignorance and racism.<\/p>\n\n

The Center is headquartered in Helena, Montana, with a Washington, D.C. office and eight programs currently operating in the United States and five countries in Central and South America. The Center has a staff of ten and an annual operating budget of approximately $3.4M.\u00a0 More information on the Center can be found at:\u00a0 https:\/\/indianlaw.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qualifications and responsibilities:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Executive Director is responsible for the overall leadership, strategic direction, and growth of the organization. This role requires a dynamic and visionary leader with exceptional interpersonal and organizational skills, a deep commitment to indigenous peoples’ rights, and the ability to inspire and mobilize staff, collaborators, funders, and those we serve.\u00a0 We seek an Executive Director with these core skills and values and are open to organizing our team to best complement this person\u2019s leadership style.<\/p>\n

For example, an Executive Director focused on legal and public activism may opt to elevate operations and fund-raising professionals to play a larger role in their respective areas of expertise.\u00a0 Conversely, an Executive Director with strong general management, executive leadership and fund-raising skills may want to encourage staff focused on legal work and public activism to play a more public role. These are ideas we are open to exploring in this process.<\/p>\n
