Vetted Solutions Seeks New Leader for the Society for Public Health Education
January 4, 2022 – Washington, D.C.- based Vetted Solutions has been selected by the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) to lead its search for a new chief executive officer. SOPHE’s next CEO will serve as a partner to the president and executive committee of the board of trustees, providing both the strategic mindset and managerial expertise needed to meet the expanding needs and expectations of members — and those they serve — in this increasingly demanding public health environment. The CEO will oversee operational activities, supervise a staff of 15 and manage a budget of more than $4 million, in addition to supporting SOPHE’s three publications. As the face of SOPHE, the CEO will be expected to have the dynamism, confidence and presence needed to maintain close relationships with important allies and stakeholders, notably other public health related organizations, and cooperative agreements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
SOPHE wants candidates with a minimum five to 10 years of broad-based executive management experience, equivalent to serving as a non-profit chief executive or chief operating officer. Public health experience is preferred. The organization is seeking someone with a keen interest, genuine passion for, and commitment to its mission. Prospects should have demonstrated knowledge of non-profit business and financial management. In addition, candidates should also have entrepreneurial focus with a demonstrated track record of building an organization at the national or regional level.
With a membership of nearly 4,000 health education professionals and students in the U.S and 25 international countries, the Society for Public Health Education is a non-profit, independent professional association located in Washington, D.C. The association’s members work in schools, universities, voluntary organizations, health care settings, worksites and in local, state and federal government agencies.
