Frasier is seeking a CEO to lead the community into meeting the needs of seniors going forward. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the CEO is responsible for the overall performance of Frasier and for developing and executing its strategic vision. The successful candidate will be faced with an exciting opportunity to shape the future of the Frasier community. Its long decades of success have been the result of a strong alliance among the Board of Trustees, the staff, the residents and the organizational leader. Continuing in this tradition, the new CEO will establish meaningful relationships with and among all of these groups, encouraging communication, engagement and collaboration. The phrase “Frasier is Forever” is a key principle that will guide decisions made by the Board and CEO, always with an eye to maintaining the high quality of life of the Frasier community, as well as its financial sustainability. The CEO will lead the efforts to maintain fiscal sustainability and long-term fiscal health through successful implementation of the organization’s Strategic Plan and designing new and creative opportunities for revenue growth.

The successful candidate will have at least six years in an executive/senior leadership position in eldercare and/or health care fields, as well as a BS/BA or equivalent; an advanced degree in a related field is preferred. The ideal candidate will exhibit the highest level of integrity and compassion and be confident but modest. The finalist will engender trust, foster transparency in all communication, and be a consummate professional. They will be committed to equity and inclusion, regarding diversity of race/ethnicity, religion and national background as positive features in hiring and Frasier’s community culture, as well as in decision-making processes. The annual base salary ranges from $335,000 to $509,000, plus bonus potential of up to 20%.

This is an outstanding leadership opportunity for an individual who wants to lead a forward-looking community of sophisticated and diverse residents and to continue to build upon the organization’s stellar reputation for providing an exceptional lifestyle in a vibrant environment.
