Preservation Utah seeks an Executive Director to serve as the chief executive and operating officer of the organization, with overall responsibility for organizational strategy and planning, programming and advocacy, fund development, administration, and staff management. The Executive Director reports to the Board of Trustees and works closely with staff, the board, and volunteers to develop and execute annual objectives, strategies, and goals.
For the next Executive Director of Preservation Utah, the board seeks the following leadership qualities:
- Ability to develop and articulate an organizational vision. Preservation Utah has an active board and committees that look forward to supporting an individual who wants to strategically lead the
organization’s growth.
- A strong collaborative approach to work. For 60 years, Preservation Utah has led statewide efforts to preserve Utah’s historic built environment. We require an Executive Director who can collaborate with staff, volunteers, and other organizations (grassroots/established) to achieve goals.
- Enthusiasm to further develop one’s toolkit. Proven leadership/development skills are more critical in this role than experience in historic preservation. The Preservation Utah board recognizes the
value of having staff with a range of expertise and wants to ensure its Executive Director is eager to fill knowledge gaps and learn next- and best-practice approaches as nonprofit management and
preservation strategies evolve.
