President & CEO

THE OPPORTUNITY                     

The ROM Governors is seeking a President & Chief Executive Officer to lead our fundraising efforts in support of the Museum’s highest priorities, and to foster long-term sustainable relationships of exceptional value both to the institution and its donors.  The President & CEO will oversee all private-sector fundraising and sponsorship programs for the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), and will be accountable for short and long-term planning associated with fundraising activities.  This is an exciting era of transformation for the ROM, and this position is available due to the upcoming retirement of the incumbent in November 2014.  The new President & CEO will have a tremendous opportunity to have a huge impact on the Museum’s next stage of growth and evolution.

Reporting to the Chairman, ROM Board of Governors, the President & CEO will play a major role in shaping the ROM’s private sector funding strategy.  Leading a strong development team with substantial experience and capability, the President & CEO will focus efforts on sustaining and deepening prospective and current donors’ commitments to the Museum.  In this high profile philanthropic leadership position, the President & CEO will represent the office of the ROM Governors to various stakeholder communities, media, and public audiences, and will personally cultivate and steward leadership donors, sponsors and volunteers.

The ROM and the ROM Governors have a common interest in the strategic direction of the Museum, and work collaboratively to regularly bring forward the Museum’s highest priorities for philanthropic support to both Boards for discussion and agreement.  The President & CEO will work collaboratively with Board members, the ROM Director & CEO, the ROM senior executive team, the ROM Governors staff, and with our key volunteers to ensure the success of all philanthropic and sponsorship activities that benefit the Museum’s rich collections, research, programs and people.  The ROM Governors President & CEO is also an invited member of the ROM Director’s executive team.

 

THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM – CANADA’S WORLD MUSEUM

The ROM is one of the world’s great museums and one of Canada’s cultural icons and leading research institutions. Our dual mandate of global culture and nature, together with strengths in scientific research, education, outreach and access, uniquely positions the Museum as an essential destination for understanding our rapidly changing natural and cultural worlds.  First opened in 1914, and with an operating budget of nearly $56 million, the ROM is one of the biggest museums in North America, attracting over one million visitors every year.  The largest field-research institution in Canada, with research and conservation activities that span the globe, the ROM is also one of the largest extra-curricular educational institutions in the country.

From its beginnings more than a century ago—when a small community with great ambition came together to build an inspired museum—the Royal Ontario Museum is constantly evolving and growing to build community.  At the grand age of 100, the ROM is a public-facing organization regularly used by a diverse audience to understand nature and culture; a cultural imperative valued by the community, both locally and internationally.  

To encourage a greater access and understanding of our vast collections and curatorial expertise, the ROM introduced Centres of Discovery during its Centennial year. Centres of Discovery are the new way to experience Canada’s encyclopaedic museum.  They offer visitors innovative and imaginative opportunities to explore unique collections of nature and culture, belong to a community that matters to them and a chance to participate in learning and discovery online and at the ROM.  The eight Centres of Discovery are: ROM Ancient Cultures, ROM Biodiversity, ROM Contemporary Culture, ROM Canada, ROM Earth & Space, ROM Fossils & Evolution, ROM Textiles & Fashions and ROM World Art & Culture.

One example of the Museum’s innovation in access and learning is ScopifyROM–the world's first ScopifyTM smartphone app.  It allows visitors to interact with artifacts in ways never before possible, revealing the fascinating stories behind objects using x-rays, restoration tools and interactive games.

Few people realize the breadth and depth of the ROM’s collections or the collective strength of its expertise.  The ROM has more than six million objects in its captivating collection, interpreted and animated by internationally-renowned curators and research experts.  Through our world-class exhibitions, more than 40 stunning galleries, cutting-edge research, and incredible public programs, the ROM offers an unusual breadth of experience to our community and to audiences from around the world.

 

ROM GOVERNORS

Established in 1992 as The Royal Ontario Museum Foundation, the office of the ROM Governors is responsible for all philanthropic activities in support of the Museum’s highest priorities.  The office of the ROM Governors is supported by an independent Board of Governors which provides leadership in a wide range of philanthropic activities, and also acts as a strategic resource to the Museum in the development of plans, initiatives, and programs requiring substantial private support.  Our work enables the ROM to better serve its diverse and ever-changing community by fostering long-term sustainable relationships of exceptional value both to the institution and its donors.

Philanthropy has been at the heart of the ROM since its inception 100 years ago.  Financial support, patronage, donations and acquisitions helped establish the Museum and continue to be a crucial component of the ROM’s success today.  Thanks to the generosity of nearly 3,000 donors, sponsors, patrons, and volunteers, the ROM Governors raised over $14 million last year.  Our revenue programs include major and planned gifts from individuals, corporate philanthropy and partnerships, direct marketing and annual giving, fundraising and community events, and membership programs such as the Royal Patrons Circle and Young Patrons Circle.  Our staff team of 26 fundraising professionals and support staff work closely with the Governors, Museum colleagues, and volunteers to raise and direct funds for the ROM’s highest priorities, including museum programs, research, collections, galleries, exhibitions and outreach programs. 

This is a remarkable time in the Museum’s history. Moving forward, we are focusing on growing our endowments, increasing the annual level of support to the ROM, and increasing the proportion of the ROM's budget which derives from philanthropy.  To celebrate our past and ensure a bright future for the Museum, we are currently engaged in The Love the ROM Centennial Campaign: Creating the Next Century Together, which aims to raise $15 million by June 2015 to transform the visitor experience inside and out.  Building on this centennial project and building towards the future, the ROM Governors is in the early planning stage of a larger comprehensive campaign initiative.
