Subject: Re: Museum Coordinators

My position title is Business Manager. In 2018 we had an Executive Director at 32 hours per week and we really could not afford that as an organization. Our reserve funds were decreasing each year so we proposed to cut the hours to 15 hours per week for 2019. Our Executive Director resigned and I agreed to take the 15 hours per week position as business manager for 1 year. Previously I had been Board President for 4 years followed by being Board Treasurer.

The focus of the business manager is working with current and new sources of revenue to balance our budget. Manage 2 part-time employees and coordinate with volunteers and the board on operating our 8000 sq foot building. For expenses, we believe we are at our minimum for operations with being open to the public and regular hours (4 days and 30 hours per week). There are other duties including maintaining exhibits and the collection that relies more on help from volunteers and interns.

I'm looking forward to year 4 of my 1-year contract in 2022.
