    Description

    ABOUT THE CONCORD MUSEUM

    From "the shot heard round the world" to the writings of the Transcendentalists, from the antislavery movement to innovations in education and agriculture, from the first indigenous people to contemporary trailblazers – the town of Concord has been fertile soil for legendary acts of self-expression and social progress.

    This is an exciting moment for the Concord Museum.

    Founded in 1886 and housing one of the most treasured collections of American material culture and decorative arts in the country, the Museum recounts stories from Concord's remarkable past.

    With newly redesigned permanent galleries and a new Education Center, the Museum is well-positioned to launch itself into the future.

    In 2017, the Museum completed

    The Campaign for the Concord Museum

    ,

    a $13 million capital campaign to fund the construction of a new 12,900 square-foot Education Center that dramatically expands the Museum's capacity to serve schoolchildren and adults with three new classrooms, a multipurpose Lyceum space, and an innovative

    History Learning Center

    for teaching directly from objects. In 2021, the Museum completed an additional $3 million

    New Museum Experience


    fundraising initiative that funded the complete redesign and fabrication of all new dynamic and multi-media installations of the permanent galleries.

    The recent renovations have resulted in expanded and modernized collections storage, new mechanical systems, and improved galleries that enable the Museum to better care for and display its exceptional collections.

    Additionally, as the country prepares for a series of events to mark the 250

    th


    anniversary of the American Revolution all eyes will be on Concord in 2025 as the place where the Revolutionary War was ignited.

    The Museum will play a vital convening role for this important moment with extensive exhibitions and public programming.


    The Museum is governed by a 26-member Board of Governors, with a 66-member advisory Board of Trustees and over 200 active volunteers.

    The Museum's Edward W.

    Kane Executive Director, Lisa Krassner, started in September 2022 and brings new insights, energy, and a wealth of leadership experience from nearly 25 years at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Metropolitan Museum of Art; and the American Museum of Natural History.

    The organization recently announced its next five-year strategic plan, and the new Director of Advancement will utilize the plan to drive revenue growth and significantly impact the Museum's mission.

    The Museum has an annual budget of approximately $2.9 million and the endowment is currently approximately $7.5 million. The Concord Museum has a talented and dedicated staff of 15 full-time employees and 30 part-time staff.


    CANDIDATE PROFILE

    As a member of the Museum's senior management team, the Director of Advancement will work closely with the Museum's Executive Director, Board of Governors, Trustees, volunteers, and key internal and external stakeholders to cultivate giving from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government sources and build awareness of the Museum and its mission.

    They will help forge new relationships to build the Museum's visibility, impact, and financial resources.

    The Director of Advancement will expand the Museum's individual donor base/pipeline and work closely with other team members to secure funding for new initiatives, systematically and effectively strengthening the Museum's overall fundraising capacity.


    Candidates will be highly motivated with strong diplomatic skills and emotional intelligence in interacting with diverse constituencies and significant partners.

    They will have superior communication skills engaging with a range of audiences, including volunteers, staff, business and community leaders, and the public.

    A management approach that is accessible, collaborative, and empowering must be demonstrated by results-oriented accountability and balance.

    The position oversees one full-time staff member (the Senior Development Officer), has the support of a Development Coordinator, and works closely with key members of the Museum staff to achieve the Museum's goals.

    They will demonstrate a commitment to growing the Museum's DEAI initiatives and a commitment to increasing the diversity among the Museum's staff, Board, and membership.

    COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, ACCESS, AND INCLUSION

    The Museum is committed to preserving the artifacts that recount Concord's complex history and by offering educational programs that shine light on once-hidden stories.

    In December 2021, the Board of Governors adopted a statement and action plan that underscores the organization's commitment to diversity, equity, access, and inclusion.

    Oppression is woven throughout the history of the land now known as Concord. The colonists who lived here did so, in part, to escape the religious persecution they faced in England. They, in turn, oppressed the Indigenous communities who had lived in this area once called Musketaquid. While fighting a war for their own liberty, many revolutionary households were enslaving Africans.

    In more contemporary times, Concord continues to confront the mistreatment of marginalized groups in our midst and in our world.

    Some recent progress and ongoing efforts include: working with leaders of local tribal communities whose voices are featured prominently in the new

    People of Musketaquid


    gallery; all front-line staff who interact with the public and who provide interpretation of the galleries attend extensive training to be aware of unconscious bias and are educated in the appropriate use of language and terminology related to conveying this history; and creating a paid summer internship in collaboration with The Robbins House for students of color passionate about museums and public history.
