# Job Description: Interim Executive Director
By definition, this is a temporary position.
Code for Nashville has survived for 5 years on short bursts of volunteer leadership.
I feel it is time form a more sustainable organization.

## Term Length
12 - 18 months.
This position should be temporary, but it may take a while to get established.

# Commitment
This position is budgeted for at least 15 hours / week.

## Transition Goals
- Mature Code for Nashville into a sustainable, representative, not-for-profit organization.
- Establish an official membership with voting rights based on pledges of time.
- Recruit a part time leadership team including my replacement(s).
- Recruit advisors who could become our board later (if membership is interested in incorporating).
- Start fundraising and budgeting with donations, grants, and contracts.

## Ongoing Goals
- Seek opportunities to engage with diverse communities in Nashville.
- Recruit and develop diverse membership and leaderhip more repesentative of the community.
- Facilitate a pipeline of community partners for Code For Nashville.
- Cultivate relationships with non profits and governmental agencies.

# Prioritization
I will generally spend my Code For Nashville time in the following priority:

1. Resolving any code of conduct concerns
