Reporting to the executive director of health promotion, engagement, accessibility, and accommodations (HPEAA), the RCPD director manages a dynamic professional team of more than 20 employees, including four direct reports. The director oversees a budget of $1.8 million.
The salary range is $90,000 to $130,000.
