Pet Partners' mission is to improve human health and well-being through the human-animal bond. More than forty years since the organization's inception, the science that proves these benefits has become indisputable. Pet Partners is the national leader in demonstrating and promoting animal-assisted therapy, activities and education. Pet Partners registers handlers of multiple species as volunteer teams providing animal-assisted interventions as well as advocating for the human health benefits associated with the human-animal bond. We have more than 13,000 volunteer teams registered across all 50 states, and the impact of their interactions is felt three million times a year. Pet Partners continues to evolve and grow! We are excited to announce we will be adding staff at the community level by forming chapters that will offer additional support beyond the existing resources available from our International Headquarters (IHQ) in Bellevue, WA. We will start with the formation of 5 chapters in 2019, hiring a local Executive Director for each chapter. The 5 markets where the chapters will be located are: Arizona (Phoenix); Southern California (Los Angeles area); Connecticut (location TBD); Illinois (Chicago); North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth). Once our Executive Directors are in place, another round of position openings will be announced for Program Coordinators in each of the 5 chapter locations. These new staff will work closely with the staff at IHQ to develop best practices for future chapters to follow. The Executive Director will be responsible for all activity within their chapter's local area, including but not limited to: fundraising, mission delivery, and marketing, PR and communications and will work closely with IHQ staff to address accounting, internal control, gift management, and technology needs. The successful candidate will truly value volunteers and work closely with volunteer committees to grow the Therapy Animal Program, identify and support local needs, generate the resources to fund chapter activities, and support the nationwide development of new curriculum and initiatives. Pet Partners is on an aggressive timeline to fill these critical Executive Director positions. Prioritization for interviews will be given to candidates who meet the above requirements and who have a proven track record in the respective local market for developing successful internal and external relationships, developing strong and productive partnerships with staff and volunteers, and successfully managing financial responsibilities.
