Can my employer, a not-for-profit organization, force me, a salaried
employee in a professional systems analyst position, to change from my
1st shift position that was in the job description I applied for and
was offered, to a mandataory rotating 3rd shift / 1st shift role ?

Shift differential is available for the overnight shifts.  I'm more
looking into this from the legal aspect - Can they legally force 10
full-time, salary employees, hired under the pretense of an exclusive
dayshift position, into working the 3rd shift hours?  Our shifts are
then replaced by contract laborers.  Anything protecting professional
Full time employees?  Just hoping there's an angle to work - I don't
want to work 3rd shift through the holidays season....

I don't know of any employer who is forever bound by parameters in a
vacancy announcement for a job. Things change and the employer can
institue those changes as they see fit.  (not withstanding if there is
a union where they would usually have to negotiate most changes)  One
option is to negotiate with your employer a system where you could
switch with others on so you end up on the shift you want.
Other than that looks like your stuck.  Do they offer shift diffential
pay for working night hours?  That may be something to look into.
