Executive Director Opening
The National Civic Art Society, a Washington, D.C.-based, non-profit educational organization, is seeking an executive director who will play a crucial role in building the organization into an important force for cultural renewal in the United States. Candidates should have business acumen and fundraising experience, as well as a passionate interest in the classical civic-art tradition as it has unfolded in Europe and the United States. Candidates must demonstrate that they are highly organized, highly competent individuals who know how to prioritize and allocate their time efficiently.
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic professional committed to our long-term goal of returning the nation’s public art and architecture and urban design to their classical moorings. In addition to fundraising responsibilities, the executive director will ensure that the Society’s programs are on track and that decisions taken at meetings of the Board of Directors are implemented expeditiously.
Candidates should anticipate an entrepreneurial atmosphere in which responsibility and rewards flow from talent and achievement — an atmosphere in which they are expected to “think outside the box” about ways to grow the Society and pursue its mission. Performance will be gauged in terms of measurable results reported to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
Salary, hours, and workplace arrangements are negotiable. Candidates should submit:
- A resumé.
- A cover letter describing their education and experience and how they relate to the criteria outlined above and to their interest in the Society’s mission.
- Three academic or professional references.
Email submissions may be sent to Howard Segermark at Howard@CivicArt.org.
Postal submissions may be sent to Mr. Segermark at The National Civic Art Society, 904 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20002.
