Director of Events

The Director of Events is a Department Head level position responsible for the management of the Events Department, which provides nearly $1 million in earned income annually and plays a vital role in the mission of the History Center as a place for special events and celebrations. This position is also responsible for business development including marketing and client cultivation; event sales, planning, and execution; and the financial management of the department including forecasting of revenue and expenses. In addition to facility rentals to external clients, the Director of Events and the Events department provide room and AV setups for History Center education programs, member events, and internal meetings. The Director of Events must have the ability to multitask and manage multiple projects and events at the same time in high-pressure (e.g., weddings) situations. Experience in a non-profit or museum setting a plus.
