The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the National
Academy of Medicine (NAM) and the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine in the search for a Senior Director of
Development for the NAM.
The Senior Director of Development will play a central role in all
fundraising programs for the National Academy of Medicine
including planning, implementing, and meeting philanthropic and
program fundraising goals. The Senior Director of Development will
serve as a partner to Academy leadership in setting and achieving
goals for private support and will work collaboratively with
program colleagues in a multi-tiered institution, actively
participating in building a culture of philanthropy. The Senior
Director of Development will also manage a portfolio of major gift
and principal gift prospects. The Senior Director of Development,
National Academy of Medicine will have a dual working relationship
with the NAM President and the Chief Development Officer.
The National Academy of Medicine is one of the three Academies
constituting the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine (the Academies). Working together under the 1863 NAS
Congressional Charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln, the
Academies are called on to serve as the adviser to the government
and the nation to solve complex problems and inform public policy
decisions. Presidential Executive Orders have defined the special
relationship of the Academy to Government and cited its unique
capacity to marshal scientific evidence and expertise of the
highest caliber for independent, objective, and trusted advice. The
NAM was established in 1970 (initially as the IOM/Institute of
Medicine) to advise the nation on issues of health, health care,
and biomedical science.
The National Academy of Medicine, along with its counterpart
National Academies of Sciences and of Engineering, is easily one of
the world’s most influential scientific bodies working outside
government, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to
profoundly impact the future of health and medicine. Working
together, the National Academies’ primary mission is to provide
expert advice on the most pressing challenges facing the nation and
the world, and their members are among the world's most
distinguished scientists, engineers, physicians, and researchers
and include more than 300 Nobel laureates.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine value
diversity in its members, volunteers, and staff and strives for a
culture of inclusion in its workplace and activities. Convening a
diverse community to exchange ideas and perspectives enhances the
quality of its work and increases its relevance as advisers to the
nation about the most complex issues facing the nation and the
world. To promote diversity and inclusion in the sciences,
engineering, and medicine, the National Academies is committed to
increasing the diversity of the National Academies’ staff, members,
and volunteers to reflect the populations it serves.
A bachelor’s degree is required for this position as is eight years
of related professional experience. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of the National Academy of Medicine.
