Executive Director

IDA and Asset Building Collaborative of North Carolina

The Individual Development Account (IDA) and Asset Building Collaborative of North Carolina seeks an Executive Director to advance its mission of promoting wealth creation among North Carolina’s low-wealth residents through supporting and building community programs, changing public policies, fostering coalitions, and advocating for other asset building strategies that promote economic self-sufficiency. Since January 1996, the IDA Collaborative has served as the central coordinating organization for asset development in North Carolina. Its efforts have helped establish North Carolina as one of the nation’s most innovative statewide IDA networks and a leader in the funding for and support of IDAs.

Currently the IDA Collaborative performs vital tasks that advocate and support the efforts of the local IDA site providers to include resource leveraging, policy development, public information and awareness, technical support, evaluation and accountability. In addition, the Collaborative serves as a convener and lead partners in several statewide asset and wealth creation initiatives including NCSaves, the Asset Building Policy Task Force, and the biennial Financial Education conference. The Collaborative also worked with state organizations, agencies and other community partners to foster financial education efforts for youth, support asset building opportunities for the developmental disabled, encourage the integration of EITC efforts with savings vehicles and advance state efforts to support entrepreneurship as an asset building strategy.

The search committee is accepting applications through July 11, 2008.
