The Forbes House Museum, a Milton, MA landmark since 1833, is seeking a new executive director (ED) as it prepares for transformational changes in its physical plant and community programming. The board is seeking a visionary leader inspired by the story of the Forbes family, its courageous engagement with the issues, challenges, and adventures of their times with creation of connections to the current day. Working with the board, the ED will develop a new strategic plan that focuses on fundraising, preservation and restoration of our physical facilities; conservation and interpretation of our collection to new audiences in Milton and beyond; and building of community programming for contemporary audiences and alliances with constituents in the greater Boston community. Key to the success of the selected ED will be a vitalized fund-raising program, focused on both annual operations and major gifts to support phased renovation of the main museum building, and eventually, redevelopment of outbuildings not in current use. We are looking for someone whose talents and ambitions are a match for this extraordinary cultural and historic resource. Organizational Mission and Strategy: Develop and continually refine a shared vision with the board of the organization’s mission and strategic priorities as they evolve in the context of changing needs and conditions. Agree upon annual goals and priorities for the board and staff in fulfillment of the mission. Organize work around identified priorities and align volunteer and staff efforts in their fulfillment. Developing a core of community activities centered at or organized by the museum is key to increasing the relevance of FHM to its constituents. Cultivation of donor prospects, soliciting them for gifts, and stewarding these relationships are at the heart of this role.
