GAINESVILLE — The North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF) has initiated an extensive search for the next professional to lead the organization as president and chief executive officer.

“Our goal is to build upon the solid base that Jim Mathis has put in place over the past 17 years,” Wayne said. “We are in a great situation with Jim assisting with the plan for a transition and the strong support we continue to have from the 15 counties we serve.”
Resumes will be accepted through early July. Interviews are planned for August with the start date for the successful candidate anticipated for fall 2015.
