I know many people go away during the Summer, so I thought I'd share this
opportunity with the listserves one more time! Deadline for applications is
Sept. 1, 2008.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The Rensselaer County Historical Society seeks an Executive Director who is
an enthusiastic, visionary leader with proven administrative experience. The
successful candidate will have the talents necessary to develop both
existing and previously untapped sources of funding, to forge new private
and public partnerships, to enhance community engagement and to work
synergistically with Trustees, staff, and volunteers.
RCHS is a dynamic not-for-profit, private educational organization
established in 1927 to connect local history and heritage with contemporary
life. RCHS fulfills its mission from two adjacent 19th century townhouses in
historic Troy, NY. The 1827 Hart-Cluett House serves as a house museum and
the 1838 Carr Building houses programmatic, administrative, and research
functions. RCHS offers a wide range of programs including lectures, walking
tours, exhibitions, educational programs for children and adults, and an
extensive local history research library. RCHS is accredited by the American
Association of Museums.
Qualifications: The successful candidate will be an inspiring leader and
skilled communicator able to garner financial resources and to effect
positive interaction between RCHS and the diverse community it serves. An
advanced degree in a museum-related field is desirable.
At least five years of management experience in a museum or other cultural
organization, and documented fundraising success are required. The ability
to apply new marketing techniques, including effective use of electronic and
print media, to promote the mission of the organization is very important,
along with a strong personal marketing sense.
