Texas Reach Out Ministries is seeking Interim Executive Director.
Candidate Profile – Interim Executive Director
Texas Reach Out Ministries
Created August 2020
Texas Reach Out Ministries (TROM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides alternative housing, a Christ-focused life, discipleship, and spiritual guidance for men and women released from prison who are returning to the community. With total capacity to house approximately 30 men and 18 women in 8 homes, they enjoy a supportive community, weekly Bible studies, and other forms of reentry support from a team of dedicated staff and volunteers. TROM is governed by a very engaged group of 7 Board members, and the organization is financially supported by a mix of philanthropic revenue, supporting churches and modest fees paid by our residents to offset the cost of their housing.
With the unexpected passing of our founder and Executive Director David Pena in July 2020, the TROM Board of Directors has worked diligently to stabilize operations, ensure residents are taken care of, and engage in a robust leadership transition process. As such, the TROM Board of Directors is seeking to hire an Interim Executive Director to temporarily lead and steward the organization for a likely period of at least 4, and possibly more, months. Note that the Interim Executive Director may or may not be considered as a candidate for any future hiring of a full-time, permanent Executive Director by the board.
The Interim Executive Director position is expected to be a 30-40 hours per week position, eligible for competitive compensation and health benefits.
The Interim Executive Director position is designed to limit job responsibilities to those that are the most critical to ensuring the ministry continues to operate well, minimizes risk during this transition period, and is ready to be led by a new permanent Executive Direction when he or she is selected.
All staff, including the Interim Executive Director, are expected to have a flexible “can do spirit” to tackle duties that are not part of their formal job description. These may include handling a key part of major ministry-wide initiatives or providing extra leadership on major projects within a functional area.
Interested candidates should email a resume, cover letter, and three references to Texas Reach Out Ministries at frontdesk@txrom.org
