The Executive Director is a skilled executive with finance and budgeting experience, a strong background in healthcare administration, hospitality, condominium operations, property management, or real estate management, and sense of duty and care for the residents.

In addition to being a proven executive with strong leadership experience and financial management and budget preparation skills, the Executive Director of OKSL must embody servant leadership and compassion. As the leader of a senior living community, the Executive Director must build trust among staff and residents, nurture relationships within the community, effectively partner with external stakeholders (such as non-resident apartment owners), and exhibit empathy toward residents and staff. At the same time, the Executive Director must stay in regular and candid communication with the Board of Directors, which is ultimately responsible for the overall well-being of the community.

Strong communication and presentation skills are essential. The Executive Director must be able to present ideas clearly and persuasively to the Board of Directors and to Residents, convey important messages in writing, and educate residents on the complexities of sound long-term financial management.

Most importantly, the Executive Director must be adaptable, highly accountable, willing to be hands-on, and available outside of normal business hours as necessary.
