About the job
For more than 50 years, the Center for Human Development (CHD) has provided community-based human services to individuals and families across Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Founded in 1972 by three young activists who sought to bring care directly into homes, schools, workplaces, and community settings, CHD has grown into one of the largest human services agencies in Western Massachusetts, with an annual operating budget of approximately $180 million and more than 80 programs and services serving more than 27,000 people each year.
CHD seeks an exceptional President and Chief Executive Officer to lead the organization following the planned retirement of its long-serving President and CEO, Jim Goodwin. The next CEO will join CHD at a moment of strength and possibility, building upon decades of growth, innovation, and impact.
