The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with California
State University, Long Beach (CSULB) in the search for a Director
of Development, College of the Arts.
The Director of Development, College of the Arts secures
philanthropic funds to support specific programs and activities in
the College of the Arts (COTA) and provides leadership and
day-to-day management of an integrated program of development
activities for COTA, as well as the University Art Museum, and
Carpenter Performing Arts Center.
The ideal candidate for this position will be able to work closely
with the Dean and the faculty/staff within COTA to identify the top
philanthropic priorities for the college. They will be able to
learn about the arts within a university setting while also being
able to engage with community partners to collaborate on
philanthropic projects. The Director of Development will be given
the independence to grow their development portfolio to match the
philanthropic needs of the college while also being provided the
support that is needed in order to be successful in this position.
COTA has seen great growth and accomplishments over the last
several years and with the leadership of the Dean and new Director
of Development, great potential exists within the college through
identifying and securing support for faculty, students, and capital
projects.
A diverse, student-centered, globally engaged public university,
(CSULB) is committed to providing undergraduate and graduate
educational opportunities through superior teaching, research,
creative activity, and service for the people of California and the
world. With its values of educational opportunity, excellence,
diversity, integrity, and service, CSULB's core academic purpose is
to graduate students with highly valued degrees. CSULB changes
lives by expanding educational opportunities, championing
creativity, and preparing leaders for a changing world.
COTA is nationally recognized as a leader in comprehensive,
hands-on arts training at the highest level. The college offers the
very finest in training, exhibitions, scholarly study, and
performance. COTA is proud of its graduates who find success
and fulfillment and a living wage (or more) while practicing their
chosen art form. It is equally proud of its alumni who take the
creative thinking, problem solving, flexibility, and communication
skills honed in its classrooms, studios, exhibition halls,
screening rooms, and stages and apply those strengths to
endeavors and careers they did not originally foresee. For the past
twenty years, surveys and reports have demonstrated—through
statistics and anecdotes—that the very skills, strategies, and
strengths shaped by the continual practice of making art, be it
dance, painting, sculpture, music, design, theatre, or film, are
highly valued in the work place, and are a stronger guarantee of
success in business than many traditional paths.
Under the leadership of Dean Cyrus Parker-Jeannette, COTA finds
itself at a very dynamic time in its rich history as it strives to
serve its vision of embracing and engaging a diverse group of
students, faculty, staff, and community participants in the
production and discourse of the arts. COTA serves more than 4,000
students annually through six academic departments in addition to
the University Art Museum and the Richard and Karen Carpenter
Performing Arts Center.
A Bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least 5
years of demonstrated successful major gift fundraising experience
including donor identification, cultivation, and solicitation.
Experience in higher education is preferred. All applications must
be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
