THE OPPORTUNITY

Asian Community AIDS Services (ACAS) is a charitable, non-profit, community-based organization located in Toronto, Canada. We provide safer sex education and services to East and Southeast Asian communities and support services to persons living with HIV/AIDS and members of LGBTQ2

SIA+ communities. Our work is guided by our values and commitments to the greater involvement and meaningful engagement of people living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA/MEPA), anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-discrimination against sexual minorities, harm reduction, equity, inclusion, and social justice.

ACAS is entering an important new phase in its evolution as a community-centred AIDS Service Organization (ASO) by strategically growing our programs and reach, enhancing and deepening partnerships, and strengthening organizational sustainability through diversified fundraising. We are seeking a values-aligned, compassionate, strategic and collaborative leader to guide ACAS’s journey ahead in partnership with our staff and Board of Directors.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the new Executive Director (ED) will build on our over 30-year-old legacy and position ACAS for strategic and sustainable growth. The ED is accountable to the Board for the organization’s overall leadership and management, ensuring that all decisions and actions are consistent with established operational purposes, policies, and standards.

The ED is responsible for implementation, fostering, and strengthening of ACAS's strategic goals and objectives through effective operation of the organization as well as identifying and creating opportunities that address and enhance the wellness of people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs), LGBTQ2

SIA+ community members, and other service users.

The ED is also accountable for ensuring the organization’s fiscal health, driving sustainable growth, and securing diversified funding to strengthen and expand programs that create measurable community impact. The ED prepares and manages the annual agency budget as well as identifies, mitigates, and monitors risks to the organization’s people, finances, and reputation.

Commitment to collaborations, partnerships and cooperative relationships is a core value of the ED. The ED will lead and motivate a talented, committed, and passionate team of approximately 10 staff. Guided by our mission, the ED will enhance the visibility and awareness of ACAS’s work and expand our diverse networks of care and support through authentic relationship building with community members, service providers, partner agencies, funders, donors, sponsors, and other organizational stakeholders.

The ED will be an advocate for ACAS’s mission and guiding values of GIPA/MEPA, anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-discrimination against sexual minorities, harm reduction, equity, inclusion and social justice. The ED will actively uphold this commitment in their engagement with all internal and external stakeholders of ACAS including service users, staff, volunteers, members, and partners.
