The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR) was restored to federal recognition as a tribal nation on December 27, 2000. The legislation also provided for the establishment of trust land previously taken by the government. In 2005, the Tribe purchased approximately 254 acres of land for its reservation just outside of Rohnert Park, CA. While the Graton Resort and Casino is based on the Tribe’s reservation, the governmental offices are based out of a separate office building in Rohnert Park, CA. Since regaining federal recognition, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria have continued to move from strength to strength, both building their community and building out the infrastructure of the Rancheria.

The Education Director (EdD) will report to and work closely with the Executive Director of Governmental Operations while providing oversight, direction, and support for all day-to-day operations for the Tribe’s education programs. The EdD, with a staff that includes an Education Manager and an Administrative Assistant, will oversee an expansive array of programs that meets the needs and desires for all tribal citizens. Programs currently range from college/career readiness, internships, and college scholarship programs, tutoring and early childhood education, and includes support to departments providing citizen educational programs that cover culture, history, housing, and financial literacy. The ultimate goal is to create a more comprehensive, integrated, multifaceted, and full-service Education Program that has a powerful and lasting impact in areas of infancy through adult education and encourages and supports an enriched standard of living through life-long learning.

The ideal candidate will be an experienced educational administrator with an insight on issues pertaining to the educational needs of American Indian youth and an awareness of American Indian history, culture and sovereignty. This position requires five or more years of professional experience as an educational administrator or professor/teacher with a strong knowledge of contract management, budget administration and grant writing skills along with at least five years of supervisory experience. This position requires a Bachelor’s degree with major course work in education or a related field or a combination of experience to demonstrate competency in the required skillsets. A Master’s degree in education, educational administration or a related field and a teaching certification will be considered favorably. The salary range for this position is $125,000 – $175,000 annually, DOQ. To be considered, please visit the Avery Associates Career Portal at www.averyassoc.net/current-searches/to upload your letter of interest, resume and contact information including email addresses for five work-related references to Paul Kimura by March 12, 2021.
