Dear Foundation Leaders,

We are pleased to share the results of a recent, network-wide job analysis project we completed in partnership with our organizational and compensation consultant, Korn Ferry. This work included an in-depth review of all CMN Hospitals’ roles, with special focus on the Program Director position, responsible for leading and executing fundraising campaigns, partner activations, and mission-driven events that advance philanthropic goals in your Foundation.

From this project, we’re excited to provide you with several new tools to support your recruitment and hiring efforts for this key role:

• Program Director Success Profile — Based on research from over 10,000 organizations across multiple industries, this profile outlines the competencies, traits, and drivers linked to top performance in the Program Director role. These dynamic benchmarks define the characteristics required for exceptional results.
• Program Director Job Description (JD) — A clear, comprehensive overview of responsibilities and qualifications.
• Webinar Recording — full presentation and discussion of the research findings with insight into key takeaways. To walk through these above materials and answer your questions, Rick Jackson, our Vice President of Human Resources, will hosted a presentation on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 – 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. MST. This webinar also provides a suggested salary range. Rick brings over 25 years of HR leadership experience across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, with deep expertise in organizational culture, leadership development, and strategic alignment. 

These resources are intended to provide guidance and consistency across the network as you build and grow your team. Please feel free to use and adjust them as necessary. As always, our team is available to answer any questions you may have.
