- Fundraising and Grant Writing: Experience in leading fundraising efforts, grant writing, and donor retention is often a key component of an executive role in a nonprofit setting.
- Advocacy and Education: The leader should continue the organization's educational mission by raising awareness of prevention and identification measures at events and through various media, similar to the founder's work.
- Case Management & Data Systems: Familiarity with the "NetPosse Alert" system and online databases, or the ability to manage and improve such systems, is necessary for search and recovery efforts.
