The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the
Stonewall National Museum & Archives in the search for an
Executive Director.
Reporting to the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Executive
Director of the Stonewall National Museum & Archives (SNMA)
will excite organizational growth, drive significant fundraising
efforts, and commit to strengthening the inclusivity of SNMA’s
collections with an eye toward being relevant in the national
LGBTQ+ historical and heritage conversation, while maintaining a
strong presence in the South Florida region.
Founded in 1973, the Stonewall National Museum & Archives is a
501(c)(3) cultural organization whose mission is to promote
understanding through the collection, preservation, and sharing of
the proud culture and heritage of LGBTQ+ people and their
significant role in American society.
Stonewall National Museum & Archives is one of the leading
independent museums and archives in the country solely devoted to
the acquisition, preservation, and exhibition of LGBTQ+ history.
Now in its 49th year of operation, SNMA offers research materials,
archival collections, exhibitions, and educational and social
programming that are unmatched by any other institution in the
nation. Stonewall is built on four programmatic pillars: the Paul
Fasana and Robert S. Graham Archive, the Stonewall National Library
and Stonewall National Library Special Collection, the Stonewall
Museum & Galleries, and the Stonewall National Education
Program (SNEP).
SNMA is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 17 committed
local, regional, and national LGBTQ+ leaders and is supported by an
impressive assembly of major national thought and action leaders in
the museum-world and in the LGBTQ+ equality movement. The Board of
Directors is committed to furthering the diversity and inclusivity
of the LGBTQ+ community within SNMA collections, exhibits, and
archives, as well as within its Board membership – consistent with
the recommendations of the SNMA Anti-Racist Task Force of February
2021. SNMA's operating budget is currently supported by Board
contributions, donors, state and local grants, special events,
corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, and
partnerships.
Stonewall National Museum & Archives (SNMA) aspires to be a
voice recognized nationally as authoritative and influential in the
collection, preservation, and accessibility of American LGBTQ
culture and history. To do so, SNMA’s leadership understands their
obligation to explore whether Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and
Pacific Islander communities — referred to in this
document as Black, Indigenous and People of Color, or BIPOC
— are equally served by SNMA’s “business-as-usual”
perspectives, as well as whether its current institutional voice is
fully inclusive of the diverse LGBTQ experience in the United
States.
A bachelor’s degree is required for this position, as is at least
five years of experience in an executive or senior leadership role
within a nonprofit cultural organization, preferably with an annual
budget consistent with that of SNMA. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of Stonewall National Museum &
Archives.
The salary for this role is $110,000 annually.
