Description

The Village of Homewood in collaboration with the Exploratorium in San Francisco (CA) has completed the study and plan to create a premier destination within the Chicago South Suburbs “to incubate interest in and an understanding of science through creative, interesting, and engaging experiences that advance STEM-based opportunities for all.”

Imagine: A mad scientist’s penny arcade, a scientific funhouse, and an experimental laboratory all rolled into one. The study is done, the plan is in place, the land and building are secured. All that is missing is an Executive Director who will take the lead in moving the project from concept to completion, establishing the nonprofit organization, fundraising, and implementing the strategies established by the board of directors.

Requirements

The individual is expected to have a minimum of five years experience in a nonprofit or business leadership role and a bachelor’s degree in nonprofit management, business or public administration, science, education, or related field. Master’s or advanced degree preferred. Education in unrelated fields coupled with desirable experience will be considered. Candidates must show evidence of fearlessness, fortitude and boundless optimism. The ideal candidate must possess a love of learning and a commitment to nurture and develop lifelong learning with all people. A desire to change the world is also welcome.
