The Interaction Institute for Social Change is seeking an Interim President to support our organization through a pivotal transitional period which we estimate to be 12 to 18 months, subject to agreement between the Interim President and the Board of Directors. 

As the Interim President, you will be responsible for tending to four major priorities: Transition Support and Guidance, Organizational Culture and Wellbeing, Revenue and Strategy Development and External Relationships, and Governance and Board Collaboration.

While participating in the day-to-day activities, this role will support the organization’s overall sense of stability and vision by guiding us through this transitional period and collaboratively developing the recommendations and changes needed to move the organization into its next chapter. This role will speak to a person who is energized by supporting the staff of a mission-driven organization in the advancement of racial equity and social justice, specifically with an eye toward organizational change, network building, and strategy development. 

This position is offered as a full-time role, including the competitive compensation and benefits package offered to all staff: a 4-day workweek, virtual office equipment and utility reimbursement, a generous PTO package, 100% medical, dental, vision coverage for individual employees, spouses, domestic partners and dependents, and more.  

The Transition

Our current President has served us unwaveringly for 10 years, deepening our commitment to shared leadership and social change, both internally and with our clients and partners. As we continue much of the transformative work that we’ve done as an organization for the last 30 years, we also see this moment as a time to expand our impact, growth, and financial strategies. The Interim President  will be a critical stabilizing and supportive force, working with our staff and Board of Directors to help IISC shape our strategic initiatives, deepen our shared leadership, and lead us through this next chapter until we bring in a new President in 2027.

MICRO-BLOG: In the Spirit of Fierce Black Resistance

June 24th, 2022 was a dark day in our fight for liberation of Black bodies and for Black power. Reproductive justice is centrally linked to Black liberation: it is our right to know our bodies, make decisions about our bodies, and feel safe in our bodies. Self-determination has been challenged, disregarded, and disrespected. To my Black sisters, trans brothers, and gender-non-conforming kin: I rage with you, cry with you, and continue the work of building a world in service of our liberation with you today and all days. 

The Supreme Court’s conservative decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a calculated attack on our bodies, our freedom, and our personal sovereignty. This is not the first action taken by the courts in what has been a long history of reproductive control rooted in classism, sexism, and racism. It is class, sex, and race-based violence designed to further oppress, control, dehumanize, delegitimize, and imprison. I stand in opposition to this decision and in solidarity and support of Black Lives Matter’s calls for expanding the court, ending the filibuster, and passing the Women’s Health Protection Act. 

I recommit to centering Black voices, to fighting for Black freedom, and to standing in solidarity with Black organizers, activists, and communities of color. I stand with you.

“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected – those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! – and listens to their testimony.”

– James Baldwin
