**CCAR Seeks Executive Director**
**About CCAR**
The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is the heart and epicenter of innovation within the realm of addiction recovery. Established in 1998, CCAR stands as a premier resource in Connecticut, connecting people with others in recovery and providing recovery support services to individuals at various stages of their recovery journey - whether they are contemplating, new to, or established in long-term recovery. CCAR believes fervently in supporting individuals along their chosen paths to recovery, recognizing and honoring the multiple pathways in which sustained recovery can be achieved.
At the core of CCAR's mission are its Recovery Community Centers -- eight physical hubs strategically located throughout the state. These centers serve as focal points where the local recovery community congregates and where essential support services are offered.
One of CCAR's notable contributions to the field is its Training department, which has trained thousands of Recovery Coaches worldwide. These coaches, drawing from personal experiences with substance use disorders, are trained to forge meaningful connections, and to facilitate impactful conversations. CCAR’s recovery coaches have been seamlessly integrated into various settings, including emergency departments in 32 hospitals, several CT correctional facilities, and the network of Recovery Community Centers.
Among CCAR's array of initiatives are a telephone recovery support line, virtual support meetings, job readiness skill building, volunteer opportunities, and advocacy efforts aimed at shaping policy, mobilizing the recovery community, and humanizing the face of recovery.
With a dedicated staff of approximately 75 professionals, CCAR fosters a culture characterized by love, nurturing, inclusivity, empowerment, and empathy. Team members are described as passionate, talented, and committed to placing recovery at the forefront of their endeavors. The organization prioritizes flexibility and support within the workplace, ensuring that staff members feel valued and empowered.
Operational funding for CCAR, totaling approximately $6 million annually, primarily consists of state and federal grants and contracts, and revenue generated from training initiatives. Notably, CCAR's Recovery Community Centers and ED Recovery Coach program receive funding from the CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services through SABG and SOR funds, while the DOC Recovery Coach program is funded by the CT Department of Corrections.
Overseen by a board of directors comprised of 12 community professionals, CCAR continues to evolve and expand its reach. After 25 years of service, Phillip Valentine announced his retirement from CCAR to pursue his passion for life, creating art, continuing to facilitate recovery coach training, and establishing himself as a seasoned brilliant fisherman, marking the end of an era while paving the way for new chapters of growth and innovation.
**Opportunity Going Forward**
The Executive Director will have the opportunity to lead a well-established, highly respected, and influential statewide organization. Reporting to CCAR’s Board of Directors, the ED has overall fiscal, strategic, and operational responsibility for staff, programs, growth, and impact. Priorities for the next leader include:
**Community Engagement and Relationship Building**: Navigate the leadership transition, ensuring that existing and strong relationships with funders and donors, legislators, collaborations, coaches, and partners are maintained and grown.
**Strategic Visioning**: Provide big-picture solutions to community issues and adapt to changing environments, while maintaining alignment with foundational principles of Recovery First and upholding the organization's mission and effectiveness. Work with the Board of Directors to craft a 2025-2028 strategic plan.
**Ensure Sustainability**: Ensure that all initiatives, especially the new Recovery Community Centers, are sustainable in the long term. Secure continued funding, while also navigating important and complex government funding awards and leveraging opportunities.
**Advocacy and Partner/Recovery Community Engagement**:Establish leadership at tables addressing recovery and addiction services to learn, innovate, and collaborate. Promote policies and legislation that focus on addiction recovery, while respecting the core principles of other addiction recovery approaches. Facilitate collaboration among peer leaders and recovery specialists statewide and nationally to bridge gaps between clinical integration, substance use, and mental health services.
**Grow Quality Services**: Continue CCAR’s service delivery as vital and innovative, ensuring that CCAR is readily known to potential service recipients, potential coaches, partners, and donors locally and nationally. Focusing on new business development, acknowledge the importance of strategic marketin
