As the CEO of RFCSL, I am responsible for the overall success of the organization and for making top-level managerial decisions. I consult with the entire leadership team and Board members for input on major decisions, but the ultimate final decisions are within my authority.
I meet with the Board members quarterly to review the company’s performance, which is based on input and reports from the entire leadership team, including the Finance Manager. Board members are a group of individuals who are directly affiliated with RFCSL through internal and external recruitment processes. Currently, I chair the Board meetings.
In general, my day-to-day responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Communicating with stakeholders internally and externally
- Monitoring the progress of RFCSL’s short-term and long-term agency goals, i.e., setting and revising strategic goals to ensure they are measurable and describable
- Monitoring RFCSL’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values
- Monitoring and evaluating the leadership members, including senior managers
- Ensuring compliance with industry standards
- Assessing risk management issues and taking action to rectify them
- Overseeing all financial aspects of the company, including managing expenses and receipts, ensuring contract compliance, and maintaining accurate financial records in accordance with acceptable accounting principles, with the assistance of a Financial Assistant
- Developing budgets, conducting monthly financial reviews and reports, supervising annual audits by external auditors, and liaising with funders
- Ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow within the organization, creating and maintaining a positive and productive work environment, and fostering a culture of communication, collaboration, and safety
- Assisting with IT support, managing budgets and expenses, and coordinating office policies and procedures
