Dear June,
Special Olympics International (SOI) , a global non-governmental organization based in Washington , DC that is committed to providing year- round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and to opening the minds of all people to the gifts and talents of these athletes, is seeking a Chief Marketing & Development Officer (CMDO). Reporting to the President & COO, the CMDO will identify and seize upon opportunities to increase revenue as well as promote and strengthen the collective assets and respected brand of the Special Olympics' movement from the transformational power of its grassroots initiatives to the far reaching impact of its programs.
About Special Olympics International
Since its inception in 1968, Special Olympics has grown exponentially both in athlete participation and in geographic reach. Today, more than 3 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities participate in Special Olympics in over 170 countries and in each of the 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia . Much more than a sports movement, SOI is also an effective catalyst for personal and social change, inviting all citizens to discover Special Olympics athletes as valuable members of their families, their communities, and their countries. With over 200 staff worldwide, Special Olympics International (SOI) serves as the central governing organization of the Special Olympics Movement, coordinating and overseeing its 230 accredited Special Olympics programs, each of which is an independent entity with its own governing body and professional staff.
Responsibilities, Challenges and Opportunities for the Chief Marketing & Development Officer:
The CMDO will champion a comprehensive, strategic and integrated approach to marketing, communications and philanthropy that will aggressively grow funding streams for SOI's $70M in operating revenue as well as increase the $250M in aggregate revenue among SO's accredited programs.
Currently, nearly 65% of SO's private philanthropy is raised through direct marketing. The new CMDO will continue to expand and tap into SO's impressive grassroots fan base, using digital and social networking mediums that are bolstered with corporate partnerships. In addition to increasing grassroots fundraising capacity, the CMDO will help diversify funding streams with the aim of shifting the philanthropic mix to include greater capacity around corporate, major and foundation funding. Since SO's largest base of revenue originates in the United States, the CMDO will need to address not only the mix of revenue channels, but also work to build awareness, relevance and funding capacity outside of the United States.
The CMDO will lead a cross functional staff and cultivate a unified, innovative client-service culture- guiding all public relations and communications functions (branding, media relations, marketing publications, internal communications and digital media) and areas of private philanthropy (direct marketing, major and planned giving, corporate and foundation giving) as a high-functioning and integrated team.
Any assistance you can provide in identifying or nominating applicants would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tracy Welsh, Vice President

About Special Olympics International
Since its inception in 1968, Special Olympics has grown exponentially both in athlete participation and in geographic reach. Today, more than 3 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities participate in Special Olympics in over 170 countries and in each of the 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia . Much more than a sports movement, SOI is also an effective catalyst for personal and social change, inviting all citizens to discover Special Olympics athletes as valuable members of their families, their communities, and their countries. With over 200 staff worldwide, Special Olympics International (SOI) serves as the central governing organization of the Special Olympics Movement, coordinating and overseeing its 230 accredited Special Olympics programs, each of which is an independent entity with its own governing body and professional staff.
Responsibilities, Challenges and Opportunities for the Chief Marketing & Development Officer:
The CMDO will champion a comprehensive, strategic and integrated approach to marketing, communications and philanthropy that will aggressively grow funding streams for SOI's $70M in operating revenue as well as increase the $250M in aggregate revenue among SO's accredited programs.
Currently, nearly 65% of SO's private philanthropy is raised through direct marketing. The new CMDO will continue to expand and tap into SO's impressive grassroots fan base, using digital and social networking mediums that are bolstered with corporate partnerships. In addition to increasing grassroots fundraising capacity, the CMDO will help diversify funding streams with the aim of shifting the philanthropic mix to include greater capacity around corporate, major and foundation funding. Since SO's largest base of revenue originates in the United States, the CMDO will need to address not only the mix of revenue channels, but also work to build awareness, relevance and funding capacity outside of the United States.
The CMDO will lead a cross functional staff and cultivate a unified, innovative client-service culture- guiding all public relations and communications functions (branding, media relations, marketing publications, internal communications and digital media) and areas of private philanthropy (direct marketing, major and planned giving, corporate and foundation giving) as a high-functioning and integrated team.
Any assistance you can provide in identifying or nominating applicants would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tracy Welsh, Vice President
