Volunteer: Development Committee Chairperson

The museum was established in 2009. We are a non-profit educational organization governed by a Board of Directors founded to develop, operate and maintain the museum and memorial gardens. We have acquired the former chapel on the former naval air station and have renovated it to make the former nave our main exhibit gallery, and other spaces for office and storage spaces, but preserving the Memorial and Friendship Gardens and retaining a small memorial chapel. We are now embarked on a $3 million capital project renovating and bringing it up to code to house our planned world class exhibits and educational programs. We are an all-volunteer organization at present but are at the point of becoming a real museum and need paid staff. Nonetheless we still need volunteers in all phases of our operations., This person will oversee the museum's fundraising efforts, coordinating with our fundraising counsel and capital campaign coordinator, and will set the agenda and preside at Development Committee meetings. S/he will work with and oversee other volunteers that assist in data processing, mailings, and other clerical work. S/he would work with the Executive Director, Treasurer and report to the Board of Directors.This is a volunteer opportunity provided by VolunteerMatch, in partnership with LinkedIn for Good.
