The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the George
Washington University in the search for an Associate Dean and
Associate Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations,
School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
The Associate Dean and Associate Vice President is a critical
member of the university and School of Medicine and Health Sciences
(SMHS) senior leadership teams. The primary roles and
responsibilities of this leader include identifying and managing
priority prospects who are capable of making transformational
gifts; building, developing, mentoring, and leading a development
and alumni relations team; supporting regional advisory boards and
councils; and advancing the SMHS strategic plan.
Additionally, the Associate Dean and Associate Vice President
facilitates partnership and synergy between the SMHS development
and alumni relations staff and the university’s central Development
and Alumni Relations division (DAR), which is responsible for
leading the university’s alumni and fundraising efforts. DAR’s goal
is to advance GW’s mission of excellence in education, research,
scholarship, and patient care.
Earlier this summer, Making History: The Campaign for GW
surpassed its $1 billion goal, a year ahead of schedule, thanks to
more than 165,000 individual gifts. Nearly 67,000 donors
contributed more than $1.02 billion to the university, with about
42,000 alumni donating to their alma mater. The campaign
established 235 new endowments, providing perpetual support for
student financial aid, professorships, instructional and academic
programs, libraries, athletics, and more. The Associate Dean and
Associate Vice President has a unique opportunity to continue to
build on this success to support growth in educational programs,
research, and patient care within SMHS and its clinical
enterprise.
Founded in 1824, the George Washington University School of
Medicine and Health Sciences is the 11th oldest medical school in
the country, and was the first in the nation’s capital. Since its

education, and it has grown to include highly ranked programs in
the health sciences and biomedical research. With dozens of
top-tier residency programs, SMHS is a competitive and

residents enjoy unmatched opportunities to engage with nearby
government, non-governmental, and non-profit organizations. SMHS
graduates are well-trained, compassionate clinicians, scientists,
and leaders who are exceptionally prepared to participate in the
decisions affecting the future of the nation’s health care.
A bachelor’s degree and experience working strategically with high
net-worth individuals are necessary qualifications for this
position. A master’s degree is preferred. A minimum of 10 years of
progressive experience in institutional advancement is required for
this position as is a strong record of accomplishment in
fundraising, including at least 5 years successfully cultivating
and soliciting gifts at the seven-figure level and above.
