Executive Director
Albany Guardian Society (AGS), a not-for-profit operating foundation located in Albany, New York, with a mission to improve the lives of seniors, their families, and caregivers, is seeking an Executive Director who will provide the vision and leadership for the next phase of its development.

- Experience working with and reporting to a Board of Directors;
