This job might be for you if:

• You can make and keep friends. You establish and maintain good working relationships throughout the organization and with outside constituencies.
• You have honed your writing and speaking skills and use them to invite individuals to action.
• You aren't someone who spends a lot of time in the weeds, but you know donors expect you to be organized, prepared, detail-oriented, and consistent in following through on promises.
• People are inspired by your determination. You bring people in line with a vision and motivate them to reach goals.
• Jesus and His Church are the center of your life, and you believe that in fulfilling TOBET's mission, you are building the Kingdom of God on earth for an eternal crown of glory.
