The Laotian American National Alliance (LANA)* is a national nonprofit in the process of exciting growth at a critical moment. The organization is growing from a volunteer working board to an organization with a full-time Executive Director. LANA advocates for policies to meet the needs of the Laotian American community and is on a mission to build power with our multi-ethnic community. The LANA board of directors is looking for an accomplished, mission-focused leader with experience leading a small and growing nonprofit organization. The Executive Director will work closely with the Board Chair of LANA and the National Director of National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA). They will work collaboratively with consultants, board members, and community partners.  This role will be primarily responsible for running the organization on a day-to-day basis, being a spokesperson and the face of the organization, developing and implementing a fundraising plan to sustain the organization, overseeing program development and implementation, and building strategic partnerships. An excellent candidate for the position will come in with a bold vision for the organization and community and take this role and organization into its next phase of work. It is an excellent opportunity to grow and scale the organization’s impact, especially the organization’s presence in Washington, DC.  

*We recognize that people with roots from Laos may not self identify as Laotian and that the term stems from the French colonialist occupation of the country now called Laos. The French used the term “Laotian” to aggregate over 160 different ethnic groups in the country, of which Lao is only one.
