This series, “A Day in the Life of our ED”, looks at the important role of the Executive Director in the CPLEA team.
If you’ve read the other posts in this series, you may think being the Executive Director is all fun and games. But the Executive Director also spends a large portion of their time managing day-to-day operations. This includes raising money, reporting to funders, going through audits, human resources, policy development, risk assessment, and project and program design, delivery and evaluation.
The Executive Director works to ensure the excellence of CPLEA’s services. And while that may not be the definition of “fun” it certainly is rewarding.
If you have the skills and desire to “steer the ship”, you’re in luck! Our Executive Director, Diane Rhyason is retiring, so we’re hiring!
A Day in the Life of our ED: Make New Things
This series, “A Day in the Life of our ED”, looks at the important role of the Executive Director in the CPLEA team.
CPLEA is in the business of creating new programs, resources, and services to educate the public about the law, and the Executive Director is at the centre of this. Staff dream up new ideas on a daily basis, like – let’s film a puppet mock trial for YouTube – or – let’s design an infographic about dying in the digital age.
Being the Executive Director means supporting an innovative team that is busy creating new things. Our ED has a strong interest in using new technologies for building community capacity and for reaching people with information.
