Overview
Executive Director — Kailee Mills Foundation, Spring, Texas. The Moran Company is pleased to partner with the Kailee Mills Foundation to recruit the organization’s next Executive Director. The Kailee Mills Foundation is seeking a high-caliber, experienced, and visionary leader with a growth mindset to guide the organization in its mission to reduce fatality and injury from non-seat belt use. This leader will be responsible for expanding its multi-focused programs of awareness, education, and community involvement to a national scale. Background
The Kailee Mills Foundation was established in 2017 in response to the tragic death of 16-year-old Kailee Mills. Kailee was killed from being ejected from a vehicle after momentarily removing her seat belt to take a selfie. The foundation is approaching a $1.7 million budget and seeks to grow its funding and expand the reach of its programs and impact to a regional and national level. The foundation’s primary mission is the promotion of seat belt safety, specifically directed toward reducing fatalities and injuries resulting from non-seat belt use, particularly among teens. It also offers financial and emotional support to families experiencing hardship from accidents similar to Kailee’s. Its vision is a future free from preventable tragedies, where families are whole and lives are saved through seat belt safety. The organization’s operational model is complex, including advocacy and direct support. Its awareness and education programs include traditional nonprofit functions such as developing and executing school programs, community outreach, and large-scale awareness campaigns, which require expertise in public relations, educational curriculum development, and volunteer management. In addition, the KaileeCares program provides direct financial assistance, grief counseling, and emotional support to families experiencing loss and hardship from vehicle crashes. The Kailee Mills Foundation also administers a scholarship program to educate teen drivers through research and leadership. This competitive program awards scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 to qualified students who desire to be advocates for safety awareness and promote the mission of the Kailee Mills Foundation.
