The Literacy Network of Greater Los Angeles (LNGLA) is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote
individual, family and workplace literacy efforts through partnerships,
advocacy, and direct program services.

Started 15 years ago,  LNGLA is regarded as one of the top literacy
organizations in the country.  It has gained a national reputation for
its innovative approach to serving the Southern California community,
which is probably the most diverse community in the United States today
and also the epicenter of the “adult English literacy crisis.” 

Initially launched through a joint initiative by the County of Los
Angeles and the United Way of Greater LA,  LNGLA is now an organization
with an approximately $925,000 direct annual budget and a full-time
staff of 8.  Funding comes primarily from foundations and corporations,
and from the Literacy in Media Awards event (LIMA). The Network is also
developing an earned income stream via Literacy at Work projects.

The President, reporting to the Board of Directors through the Chairman,
provides professional leadership in the support and development of
LNGLA. The President will be an experienced leader/manager with the
ability to expand, elevate and enhance LNGLA's profile with business,
media, foundations and the general public.

Ideal candidates preferably will have an advanced degree and a minimum
of five years experience in nonprofit management, including direct
responsibility for and proven track record of success in fundraising.
