Nationwide Search For Innovative And Visionary Leader
Begins
Help Wanted:
Aviation insider needed to lead one of the counry's most
innovative aviation museums. Must be experienced, dynamic and a
visionary. Must have big feet -- candidate will be filling the
shoes of retiring President and CEO Ken Curtis.
An energetic leader with successful management experience and a
background in the aerospace field will have an opportunity to
continue on the path of innovative change and financial stability
started by Curtis.
Curtis, who had long been an active member of the Museum's board
of directors before taking on the role as the Museum's first
President and CEO in October 2003, implemented numerous changes to
set the Museum on a more stable fiduciary course. Curtis' successor
will require expertise in financial management, the ability to work
with a non-profit board of directors, and the skills to foster
cooperation among various stakeholders.
With a budget of over $2 million, a
staff of 40, an active volunteer force of 275, a separate
fundraising foundation and a nearby restoration facility located at
Gillespie Field in El Cajon, Ca., the President/CEO is charged with
leadership in realizing the vision of maintaining the Museum's
status as the premier air and space museum in the southwestern
United States and providing an inspiring educational experience to
the public.
A successful record of fund-raising for a non-profit
organization is critical. In this regard, the successful candidate
will supervise the efforts of the executive director of the
Foundation. As the chief spokesperson for this AAM-accredited
museum, the president/CEO should hold, or be prepared to gain,
standing in the larger museum community.
