Director of Fundraising & Events
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "DCAC is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer...". That's boilerplate; remove. Also "Essential Functions: This job description should not be interpreted as all-inclusive..." maybe borderline but it's generic; could be considered boilerplate. Might remove. Also "Core Values Must demonstrate/live our organization’s core values:" maybe keep? It's substantive about core values. Could include in About the role? Might be considered part of About DCAC? Actually core values separate. Could include as part of About the role? Might be better to include as a separate section "Core Values". But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate core values into About the role paragraph. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can embed core values within About the role paragraph.
We also have "About DCAC" paragraph describing mission etc. That's substantive; could be part of About the role or separate "About the organization". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not About the organization. But we could put About DCAC under About the role? Might be okay. However they said use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. About the role: combine GENERAL DESCRIPTION and About DCAC maybe. Responsibilities: Essential Duties & Responsibilities. Qualifications: QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS. Benefits: Benefits. Possibly also include Work Environment under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Could add a section "Requirements" maybe for experience/education? But Qualifications already covers. Could add "Skills" separate? But we have Qualifications AND SKILLS combined. Could split into Qualifications and Skills but they said we can use those headings. Might be better to have Qualifications and Skills separate. However the posting lumps them together; we could keep as Qualifications (including education, experience) and Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). But we need to decide.
We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections. Could also add "Work Environment" but not in list; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to add a section "Work Environment" as it's substantive, but instruction says use those headings (e.g.) not limited to? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests examples, not exclusive. So we can add other headings if needed. But they also say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding Work Environment may be okay.
But we also have "Core Values". Could be part of About the role.
Let's decide: Sections: About the role (includes GENERAL DESCRIPTION + About DCAC + Core Values). Responsibilities (Essential Duties & Responsibilities). Qualifications (Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities). Benefits (list). Possibly Work Environment (Work Location, Remote work, Mental and Physical Abilities, Working Conditions). That's five sections.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate: EEO statement, Essential Functions line, maybe "This job description should not be interpreted as all-inclusive." Remove.
Also remove "Core Values Must demonstrate/live our organization’s core values:" maybe keep as paragraph.
Let's extract content.
About DCAC paragraph: "The mission of the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center is to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and to provide national leadership on child abuse issues. DCAC is a non-profit organization and the only agency of its kind in Dallas County, working in agreement with public and private agencies to investigate, prosecute, and provide healing services for child abuse cases in Dallas County. We reduce the victimization of the child, remove barriers to investigation and treatment, and enhance criminal prosecution with our distinctive multidisciplinary and united approach to these complex and severe cases, all at no cost to our clients. Each year, DCAC serves over 13,000 children and their non-offending family members. We are a national and international leader in the Children's Advocacy Center movement, recognized for our expertise in the identification, investigation, and prosecution of child abuse cases; cutting edge clinical services and programs for the victims and their non-offending family members; and our community and professional training programs."
Core Values: "Must demonstrate/live our organization’s core values: We are child-centered, family-focused, and community-driven. We act with dignity and compassion in all that we do. We recognize our staff as our greatest asset. We operate as a seamless team"
We can combine.
General Description paragraph: "The Director of Fundraising & Events is responsible for the strategic planning, execution, and growth of the organization’s fundraising events and community fundraising initiatives.

We'll put that in About the role.
