Dear Elizabeth:  We have consulted with several museums on updating,
adapting and formulating job descriptions parallel to those in the private
sector, as well as helping in any necessary restructuring of departments.
Please contact me offline to discuss how we might assist you.  Cheers!  Geri

Subject: job descriptions for development, marketing, etc.


>I am doing some research on museum job descriptions for a salary comparison
>study (museums and the for-profit sector) for the Association of Midwest
>Museums and am looking for suggestions of/from institutions that have
>recently created positions that may have been untypical in that
institutions
>-- specifically, positions that have fairly direct comparisons to ones in
>the profit sector, such as marketing, PR, business development, brand
>positioning, etc. The thinking behind this question is that while we all
>know what curators and registrars do, for example, these positions are not
>as easily compared to different types of organizations (for profit or not).
>We're looking for descriptions of any positions that are 1) new to your
>organazation, particularly in response to pressures to drum up funds and
>develop relationships with the corporate world and 2) any jobs within the
>museum which have skill sets and responsibilities similar to those in the
>"outside world."
>
>Additionally, I seem to remember reading somewhere that AAM has a document
>listing different types of museum positions and standard job
descriptions --
>is this available on the web anywhere?
