GCDC Seeks Candidates for the Executive Director Position


Greensburg Community Development Corporation (GCDC) is seeking an experienced, dynamic and dedicated Executive Director. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the GCDC is dedicated to supporting Greensburg area residents, business owners and commercial property investors in their efforts to create vibrant, equitable, healthy and diverse community.

Community development corporations are historically known for responding to their community's greatest needs. For the GCDC in recent years, this has meant a focus on commercial property development and renovation, business recruitment and assistance, marketing and promoting unique downtown experiences, and creating innovative programs and initiatives to improve the City of Greensburg.   We're looking for an Executive Director to maintain our current growth trends while also working with a dynamic board of directors to take the organization and the community to the next level.

Our current programs focus on enhancing the quality of life residents living in the surrounding neighborhoods, creating job opportunities and increasing real estate values, implementing community-supported redevelopment and beautification projects, and fostering economic development projects both small and large.

 The selected Executive Director will provide program oversight and overall day-to-day organizational management. She or he is responsible for program planning and visioning while providing strong leadership as the face of GCDC.

In addition to a strong commitment to commercial property development and business growth, the ideal Executive Director has proven experience in fundraising, strategic planning, coalition building and strengthening community partnerships. She or he must work well with an engaged Board of Directors and be committed to ongoing personal and board development.

Interested candidates should email his/her contact information to sgifford@thinkgreensburg.com or call 724.689.0040 and request the detailed position description and application procedure description.  The board of directors will continue the search until the right person is identified to join the GCDC team.
