IACP Seeks Executive Director

The Idaho Association of Community Providers (“IACP”), a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization representing Idaho’s association of providers supporting individuals with behavioral health and developmental disabilities, seeks an Executive Director to lead the association’s growth and strategic direction.
 
IACP was formed in 2014 with the merging of several community-based provider associations formerly representing mental health providers, developmental disabilities agencies, case management, supported living, and addiction counseling and treatment. With our unified association, IACP works together with all branches of government to support comprehensive community services which meet the need of Idahoans with behavioral health and developmental disabilities. As a collaborative membership, IACP’s mission is to build an exceptional and sustainable network of community services ensuring least restrictive care and quality outcomes for the Idahoans we serve.
 
Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will also work closely with Membership Subgroups representing services comprised of Supported Living, Case Management, Behavioral Health, Developmental Disability Agencies, and Community Supported Employment. As Executive Director, the new leader will represent IACP and its interests and recommendations to reduce barriers to quality service and service delivery with public and private stakeholders and partnerships. Successful candidates will exhibit evidence of a strong public policy background, a history of fostering relationships and partnerships, and demonstrate team leadership and resource development skills.
