Museum Director

The H.H. Franklin Foundation is searching for a full-time director for its
non-profit Tucson, Arizona-based antique automobile museum.  Successful
candidates will have a graduate degree in museum studies and/or five years
experience directing a museum of similar size, as well as general
knowledge of automobile history. The candidate should demonstrate
successful experience in all aspects of museum operations including
business operations, government regulations, fundraising, public
relations, archival and collections management, management of a vibrant
volunteer network, and growth of the collection through selective
acquisitions and donations.

The Franklin Foundation and Museum is devoted to the Franklin air-cooled
automobile made in Syracuse, NY from 1902 through 1934.  We currently have
a 25 car collection of superb quality and the demonstrated support of The
H.H. Franklin Club through donations and volunteers. A $3 Million
fundraising campaign is underway to launch a move to upstate New York. The
new facility in Cazenovia, NY will be close to where the Franklin was made
and enjoys the regional support of an active antique car hobby and strong
community support. The new director must therefore be able to lead the
organization through the next phases of its development, including the
building project and subsequent move.

Salary will be commensurate with experience and will include a benefits
package.  Screening of applications will begin on December 1st and
continue until the position is filled.  A start date of June 1, 2005 is
anticipated.

Send a letter of application along with resume, three letters of reference
and supporting materials to:
