Since its foundation in 1984, PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) has pioneered bold and effective approaches to assist people experiencing homelessness.

As part of the Executive Leadership Team, the CDO is responsible for achieving PATH’s progressive fundraising goals, managing a robust team (15 members with five direct reports), and being an engaging, mission-driven thought leader with the executive team.
