About the Wallace McCain Institute:
The Wallace McCain Institute (WMI) was founded in 2007 to build and nurture the most inter-connected community of entrepreneurial business leaders in North America for the betterment of themselves, their companies, and their region.
Programs were conceived and launched to target specific ingredients of a better region to accomplish the vision of making the Greater Atlantic Area the best place in Canada to start and grow a company. WMI programs are designed to operate at break-even, allowing the Institute to maintain a stable financial position.
The organization is at an inflection point where the intent is to leverage the strength of the organization's history and brand strength to re-imagine what the future of this organization could be fueled by a new capital campaign which will raise $15,000,000.

**Community and Ecosystem Building:**
- Cultivate and expand WMI's network of entrepreneurial leaders, mentors, and partners within and beyond the GAA.
- Foster strong relationships with key stakeholders, including members, alumni, donors, and external partners, to support the Institute's mission and growth.
**Financial Management:**
- Oversee the financial health of WMI, ensuring programs operate at break-even while maintaining a stable financial position.
- Manage the trust fund and pledges, currently exceeding $7M, to sustain the Institute's operations and long-term goals.
**Regional Expansion:**
- Lead the expansion of WMI's membership base and influence beyond New Brunswick, while maintaining the Institute's strong connection to its roots.
- Explore and implement strategies to enhance WMI's impact across a broader geographic region.
**Measurement and Reporting:**
- Regularly assess and report on the success of WMI's programs and the growth of its members, with a focus on long-term impact and sustainability.
- Maintain transparent communication with the Board of Directors, the University of New Brunswick, and other stakeholders regarding the Institute's performance and future direction.
**Governance and Compliance:**
- Ensure that WMI operates in compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, and University of New Brunswick policies.
- Work closely with the Board of Directors to ensure effective governance and alignment with WMI's mission and strategic objectives.
**Requirements:**
- Proven leadership experience in a senior executive role, preferably within a nonprofit, educational institution, or entrepreneurial organization.
- Strong understanding of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the challenges faced by business leaders, particularly in the context of the Greater Atlantic Area (GAA).
- Demonstrated success in strategic planning, program development, and financial management.
- Excellent communication, networking, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and inspire a diverse range of stakeholders.
- A track record of driving organizational growth and impact, with a focus on long-term sustainability.

- Familiarity with the Greater Atlantic Area (GAA) business environment and its unique opportunities and challenges.
