OhioNet Seeks an Executive Director/CEO

OhioNet strives for continuous innovation in discovery and sharing of best practices focused on strengthening each library and responding to the needs of its members. To meet these objectives OhioNet seeks a dynamic, effective, and forward-thinking leader to serve as its next Executive Director and CEO.

The Executive Director/CEO leads the identification, creation, delivery, and assessment of high-quality, cost-effective programs and services that solve OhioNet members’ problems and needs. This is achieved by building collaborative relationships across the library community in the state and region to improve members’ delivery of library services. As the public face of OhioNet, the Executive Director/CEO maintains a positive image of the organization. The Executive Director/CEO provides management oversight of OhioNet business operations, including membership growth and retention efforts. The Executive Director/CEO reports to OhioNet’s Board of Trustees (Board) and serves as the Board’s liaison to OhioNet’s staff and members.

The Executive Director/CEO will join OhioNet amidst a changing landscape in the library sector. This leader will bring an entrepreneurial mindset that continues to drive a strategic planning process ensuring sustainability and capacity building. The position will require the ability to collaborate among the various silos that exist and unite those to allow for service across all library sectors (academic, public, K-12, etc.).
