Good morning all,

I have been asked by our search committee to help them post the job ad
for executive director for our museum. If you would not mind I would like
to and if you would pass it along to anyone who might be interested.  I
would be grateful. 

Thank you,
Henry Poore
Former Executive Director
Iredell Museum of Arts and Heritage





Executive Director

Museum, seeks a dynamic, experienced, and collaborative executive
director to oversee and expand the organization’s programming and

practices, strong administrative and communicative skills, and the
potential of success in fundraising and community outreach. Duties will
include supervising museum staff, care of collections, organizing
exhibits, coordinating volunteers, overseeing educational programming,
marketing, PR and fundraising.
Iredell Museums Inc. is a multi-disciplined museum, combining children’s
museum programming and exhibits, as well as art, history, culture and
natural science collections, exhibitions and programming. The new museum
will be seeking a new location and anticipates undertaking a capital fund
drive in the next year. The current budget is approximately
$250,000/year, and the Board seeks to grow the organization and budget.

Board of Directors, interacting on a regular basis with the President and
various standing and ad hoc committees. S/he will take a proactive role

The Executive Director must establish and maintain productive
relationships outside the Museum and be its key spokesperson and advocate
within the immediate community and throughout the region (including
professional, governmental, civic and private entities).
