D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute
Executive Director
The D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute is seeking an executive director. D.C. FPI is a newly formed nonprofit organization that is operating as a project of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a national policy institute focusing on fiscal analysis and issues affecting low- and moderate-income people. After an initial period of approximately two years, the organization will become independent of the Center.
D.C. FPI will engage in fiscal analysis and community education, and will support the advocacy of other District nonprofits to ensure that the needs of low-income and vulnerable populations are considered in District budget and tax debates. Currently, the lack of clear, accessible fiscal information on which to base public debates limits participation in policy decisions and, therefore, the extent to which public resources can be effectively directed toward promising avenues for alleviating poverty and meeting the needs of all residents. D.C. FPI will work to fill that gap.
D.C. FPI will analyze critical budget and tax issues; help policymakers, the media, and the public understand fiscal policy; and disseminate information broadly. It will seek to provide information that is widely regarded as credible and timely with respect to the policy decisions under discussion. It will seek to make fiscal information widely accessible by presenting complex fiscal issues in ways that a variety of audiences can understand. The D.C. FPI will build on the successful model of the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative, a network of nonprofit organizations in 22 states doing this type of work which is coordinated by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. (See http://www.cbpp.org/sfai.htm for more information on the network.)
The establishment of the D.C. FPI has been greeted with enthusiasm by a large number of advocates, academics, policy experts, and representatives of the faith community, many of whom are serving on a founding steering committee for the organizations. Eight local and national foundations already are committed to funding this effort.
The executive director will be expected to provide leadership to shape the policies and agenda of the new organization. The executive director must have extensive experience with various aspects of fiscal analysis and excellent communication skills. He or she also should have familiarity and experience with policy development in the executive and legislative branches of government, and good strategic judgement about how to effect policy change. Experience in management of a nonprofit organization and working with foundations also is helpful.
This is a senior position with a commensurate salary and excellent benefits.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter and resume to D.C. FPI Search Committee, CPBB, 820 First Street NE, Suite 510, Washington, D.C. 20002. The information may be faxed to 202 408 1056.
The Center is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and is committed to developing a diverse pool of candidates.
