Executive Director (Remote Location)

Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Reaching Out MBA
in the search for an Executive Director.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will be
responsible for the overall management of the organization, in
partnership with the Board of Directors, including oversight and
evolution of the organization’s strategic direction, its brand and
reputation, programs, human capital, finances, and all day-to-day
management and operations.

Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) is a community of LGBTQ+ MBAs and other
business professionals with ever-growing diversity in sexual
orientations, gender identities, and races and ethnicities. One of
the strengths of ROMBA is its community’s unique perspective and
intersectionality of identities across underrepresented
groups.

Reaching Out MBA is on a mission to increase the influence of the
LGBTQ+ community in business by educating, inspiring, and
connecting MBA students and alumni. ROMBA grew out of an idea of
students attending Harvard and Yale Business Schools to bring
LGBTQ+ business students together in 1999. This became the first
ROMBA Conference that brought together 100 students from six
schools and has since grown into a dynamic set of programs that
support thousands of LGBTQ+ MBAs and alumni each year. In 2004,
ROMBA became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and formed a Board of
Directors.

Over the years, the influence of Reaching Out MBA has grown
exponentially, with more than 1,600 MBAs, professionals, and
partner attendees at the annual ROMBA conference. The organization
now has grown to offer programming and fellowships aimed at
inspiring an increased presence of LGBTQ+ community in the world of
business. Among the ways in which ROMBA achieves its mission is
through the ROMBA Fellowship, which is a national scholarship
program that launched in 2014 and today partners with 70 business
schools and corporate partners.

Led by a team of professionals with a history of involvement with
organizations working with the LGBTQ+ community, Reaching Out MBA
continues to thrive with the support of a dedicated Board of
Directors. In addition, ROMBA relies on the support of student
organizers to help develop relevant and timely programming. New
groups of student organizers and young professionals are chosen to
form diverse leadership teams that drive the content and innovation
of ROMBA, the Club Leadership Summit, and the annual Out Women in
Business conference. Together with the Reaching Out staff, these
teams are responsible for setting themes and developing content and
innovative event formats.

Reaching Out MBA is a community of LGBTQ+ MBAs and other
professionals, diverse across sexual orientations, gender
identities, races, and ethnicities. One of the organization’s
strengths is the unique perspective it brings through the
intersectionality of identities across
underrepresented groups. To create a more equitable business
community, ROMBA is always striving to reflect diversity in thought
and representation and to provide inclusive environments where
everyone feels welcome. ROMBA recruits Directors to its Board,
student organizers, and speakers who are diverse across gender
identity and expression, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity,
and industry experience. It amplifies underrepresented voices in
its programming and is transparent about how it is doing in
achieving its diversity and inclusion goals.

A bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience with a minimum of ten years overall work experience and
at least five years of nonprofit leadership experience in an
organization of similar or larger size and scope is preferred for
this position. An MBA degree is preferred for this position, given
MBA students and alumni form the heart of the ROMBA community.
Reaching Out MBA will consider candidates with a broad range of
backgrounds. If you are excited about this role and feel that you
can contribute to the organization, but your experience does not
exactly align with every qualification listed above, we encourage
you to apply. All applications must be accompanied by a cover
letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission of Reaching Out MBA as well as the responsibilities and

The salary range for this position is $200,000 to $240,000 annually
including eligibility for an annual bonus based on
performance.

Reaching Out MBA is committed to the inclusion of all qualified
candidates. If you require reasonable accommodation in completing
