Are you a dynamic, collaborative leader?
If so, we want to work with you! Oregon SATF is looking to hire an executive director that will lead the organization into its next chapter. Here’s a little about us:
SATF is a unique 501c3 nonprofit organization created to improve the response to, and prevention of, sexual assault in Oregon.
The ED works with a staff of 8-12, the board of directors, and the volunteer members of the SATF appointed by the Oregon Attorney General.
The ED will lead the statewide response and prevention efforts with the support of a dedicated staff that work in five primary areas: 1) legislative and public policy, 2) prevention, 3) SANE nursing certification, 4) Campus, and 5) discipline specific and multidisciplinary training (campus, criminal justice, offense treatment, advocacy response, etc.).
Formed in 1999 by former Attorney General Hardy Myers, in collaboration with statewide advocates, activists, and leaders, SATF has over twenty years of experience convening, connecting, and supporting multi-disciplinary Oregonians in their efforts to prevent and respond to sexual violence. Our unique agency structure (part programmatic, part collaborative advisory task force committee that guides our efforts to help improve the response to and prevention of violence and abuse in Oregon) allows SATF to cultivate multi-disciplinary relationships that support the continued progression of anti-violence work in our state and beyond. This progress is communicated through the many resources and programs SATF develops and implements, including position papers, manuals, training, technical assistance, legislative and policy efforts, primary prevention efforts, and beyond.
