The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with University
of Missouri in the search for an Executive Director for
Advancement, Children's Hospital.
Reporting to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Health System
Advancement, the Executive Director for Advancement, Children's
Hospital will lead the fundraising efforts for a world-class
facility that will save and improve the lives of children and their
families, so that each child can live the healthiest, most
fulfilling life.
Since 1839, and as Missouri’s only state-supported member of the
Association of American Universities, the University of Missouri
(MU) has been engaged in groundbreaking research and comprehensive
academics that define its strength as a higher education
institution. Today, MU supports 31,103 students in 300+ degree
programs, including 97 undergraduate majors, 96 master’s degrees,
69 doctoral degrees, and over 70 certificates. Students work side
by side with some of the world’s best faculty to advance the arts
and humanities, the sciences, and the professions. At MU,
scholarship and teaching are driven daily by a commitment to public
service—the obligation to produce and disseminate knowledge that
will improve the quality of life in the state, the nation, and the
world. MU’s NCAA Division I Athletics program in the Southeastern
Conference (SEC) has 550 student-athletes across 20 sports. There
are 344,000 MU alumni living around the world, 185,000 of which
remain in the state of Missouri, maintaining MU’s positive impact
globally and locally.
MU commits to acting ethically, welcoming differences, and
exchanging ideas openly. University leaders demonstrate commitment
to diversity, equity, and inclusion by ensuring each individual,
regardless of background, experiences, and perspectives, is
supported at MU. In the past eight years, the university created
the Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, hired a Chief
Diversity Officer to lead the new division, and established
mandatory diversity training for those responsible for hiring. As
part of its student accessibility efforts, in 2021, MU invested
over $167 million in student scholarships and awards, allowing
nearly half of all MU students to graduate without debt.
On the heels of record retention and enrollment growth amidst
unprecedented challenges facing higher education in 2020, the
University of Missouri jumped 15 spots in the U.S. News &
World Report list of top national universities, rising to 124
in the publication’s newest rankings of more than 380 public and
private institutions. MU also moved up five spots, from No. 90 in
2020 to No. 85, among the Best Value Schools— a measure of colleges
that offer the best value for students getting need-based financial
aid. Additionally, the university climbed 13 spots to No. 86 among
the Best Colleges for Veterans.
As the only academic health system in the region, University of
Missouri’s children’s health providers, researchers, and
professors, work together to provide the highest level of care to
patients and families. From routine check-ups with your
pediatrician to specialized services for complex diseases,
illnesses and injuries, they are proud to offer expert care in more
than 25 pediatric subspecialties, making it the largest and most
specialized pediatric care team in central Missouri.
In the fall of 2021, University of Missouri Health Care leaders
joined with MU and state leaders to break ground on a tower that
will house its new Children’s Hospital. The new facility is set to
open in the summer of 2024 on MU Health Care’s main hospital
campus. At the heart of Children’s Hospital is MU Health Care's
mission to save and improve the lives of children and their
families so each child can live the healthiest, most fulfilling
life possible.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience and at least ten years of experience from which
comparable knowledge and skills can be acquired is necessary.
Experience working in a healthcare environment, children’s
hospital, cancer center or academic health center is preferred. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to mission of University of
Missouri as well as the responsibilities and qualifications
presented in the prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $115,000 to $150,000
annually.
