CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR

Museum London is Southwestern Ontario's leading establishment for the collection and presentation of visual art and material culture. Through public and educational programming, special events and exhibitions, Museum London strives to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of regional art, culture and history.

At the heart of a great museum is its collection and Museum London is proud to have one of Canada's most important art collections, and one of the most significant historical artifact collections in Ontario. Our art collection has more than 5,000 regional and Canadian works and our 45,000 artifacts reflect the history of the City of London as an important regional urban centre in Southwestern Ontario.

Museum London was established in 1940, operating from the London Public Library until 1980 when architect Raymond Moriyama was commissioned to design its current home at the forks of the Thames River in downtown London, Ontario. In 1989, the then London Regional Art Gallery amalgamated with the London Historical Museum, creating what is known today as Museum London.

As Museum London embarks on a $3.5 Million Capital Campaign for the development of a new Creative Learning Centre, it seeks to hire a CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR on a 30-month contract.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Capital Campaign Director is responsible to strategize, plan and manage Museum London’s efforts to achieve the Capital Campaign goals. The salary range is $70,000 to $80,000 per annum depending on experience.

The incumbent will lead the Capital Campaign effort to attract a broad spectrum of potential donors to Museum London, drive its communication strategy, develop attractive value propositions, and collaborate with Museum London’s stakeholders (patrons, donors, Board of Directors, Capital Campaign Cabinet, staff and volunteers) and senior management on key initiatives.

The typical candidate is driven to work in philanthropy for the arts, has proven strategic planning and management capabilities, and demonstrates a progressive career track-record in identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding major gift donors. Capital Campaign experience is essential.

Responsibilities Include:

Overall campaign management, organization and execution;
Management of pipeline, prospect tracking, strategy, task assignment and maintenance of timelines;
Donor identification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship;
Engaging a portfolio of high net-worth donors, Foundations and Corporations to solicit their philanthropic support for this important project for Museum London;

Regular reporting to management;

General Manager

Richmond Gateway Theatre Society (GT) is looking for a General Manager to serve as CEO of the company. This is a senior position that works in partnership with the current Artistic Director (AD).

Profile of the City of Richmond

Richmond is a culturally diverse and geographically unique community centrally located on Canada's West Coast, in Metro Vancouver. The City is 20 minutes from Downtown Vancouver, and 25 minutes from the US border. It is the location of Metro Vancouver's international airport.

Richmond has been experiencing growth and change with remarkable speed, transforming from a rural, local community to an international city with a balance of urban, suburban family, and rural areas. The development of the City's downtown core and waterfront areas continues as well as the recently completed construction of the Canada Line rapid transit system.

Richmond has a colourful history which is celebrated at museums and several public heritage sites, some of which are of national importance. These include the Historic Steveston Fishing Village.

Please see the City Profile for a more detailed description of our City's location, population and geography, and our many cultural and recreational amenities.

Profile of the Organization

Gateway Theatre, now in its 30th season, is a welcoming and inclusive regional theatre for Richmond and its surrounding communities. Encouraging participation and cultural diversity, Gateway strives for excellence and leadership in the development and production of live professional theatre and programs that connect the community.

GT is a $2.4 million operation with 34 full and part time staff, and approximately 125 artistic contractors. In addition, 150 volunteers regularly support the operations.

GT's current programming includes the following:

· Gateway Signature Series - a six-play series with four plays on the main stage and two in the studio

· Gateway Pacific Theatre Festival - a festival of contemporary Chinese-language theatre

· Gateway Academy for the Performing Arts - a theatre training program for age 6+ with a core of youth programs augmented by adult programs

· Professional development for artists in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin

· SceneFirst - an annual program where plays in development are workshopped and publicly read

The City of Richmond (City) is the primary stakeholder and partner as GT is housed in a venue owned and maintained by the City, and managed by the Society. The relationship with the City is strong with a progressive operating agreement that is based on core values that build and support cultural programming for the community. The Society is expected to program professional theatre and provide a venue for the community to use as a rental space. The venue has a 541-seat main stage theatre, a 100-seat studio theatre, administrative offices, three lobbies, and support facilities for artistic personnel including dressing rooms and a small workshop.

GT adopted a 15-year artistic and strategic vision in 2012 to grow the professional artistic programming for the community. A link to the long range vision can be found below. The most recent annual report can be found b. Due to the programming growth, it is expected that GT will require additional facilities. The Board has a Facility Task Force and the first stage facility report is linked below. It is expected that the new General Manager will be a member of the facility task force and be an integral part of the process.
