Los Angeles, California 

The Literacy Network of Greater Los Angeles (LNGLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization whose mission is to support and promote individual, family and
workplace literacy efforts through partnerships, advocacy, and direct
program services.

Started 15 years ago, LNGLA is regarded as one of the top literacy
organizations in the country. It has gained a national reputation for its
innovative approach to serving the Southern California community, which is
probably the most diverse community in the United States today and also the
epicenter of the "adult English literacy crisis."

Initially launched through a joint initiative by the County of Los Angeles
and the United Way of Greater LA, LNGLA is now an organization with an
approximately $925,000 direct annual budget and a full-time staff of 8.
Funding comes primarily from foundations and corporations, and from the
Literacy in Media Awards event (LIMA). The Network is also developing an
earned income stream via Literacy at Work projects.

The President, reporting to the Board of Directors through the Chairman,
provides professional leadership in the support and development of LNGLA.
The President will be an experienced leader/manager with the ability to
expand, elevate and enhance LNGLA's profile with business, media,
foundations and the general public. Ideal candidates preferably will have an
advanced degree and a minimum of five years experience in nonprofit
management, including direct responsibility for and proven track record of
success in fundraising.
