The Boston Society of Architects (BSA), a 4,000+ member professional association, is seeking a creative and energetic Executive Director to work with its Board of Directors to develop the BSA?s policy objectives. The Executive Director will be responsible for the operation and implementation of the strategic plan and for the overall performance of the organization. S/he will oversee an ambitious agenda while cultivating and strengthening myriad relationships with individuals and groups in allied professions, industry, government, and the community. S/he must be able to capture opportunity, navigate change and lead a team to raise the visibility, impact and excellence of the organization on behalf of its members.
Attributes of strong candidates will include:
- Proven success leading multi-faceted, complex service-oriented organizations;
- Managerial agility and entrepreneurial acumen;
- Credibility as a leader and strategic thinker who can translate ideas into action;
- Experience with financial stewardship, revenue diversification and business development, including fundraising;
- A reputation for clear and well-considered communication in the public domain;
- An affinity for effective relationship-building inside and outside an organization;
- Ability to frame issues in ways that pull people together to work in partnership; and
- An intelligent and critical interest in the profession of architecture and BSA?s mission.
Background:
The BSA is a truly member-centric organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the profession of architecture and the critical value of design in the built environment. With a staff of 16 and an annual budget of approximately $5 million, this is an exciting time for the organization. Its finances are healthy; its programs and leadership are highly respected; and it is about to embark on a move that will enable it to broaden its reach and expand its offerings to members and the public at large. During a dynamic period of economic challenge combined with changes in the architectural and building professions, in the construction industry, and in trade organizations generally, the BSA is well positioned to continue its leadership role and support its membership moving into the future. For more information about the BSA, please visit www.architects.org.
To nominate a candidate, or to apply (forward resume and cover letter), please contact E. Catlin Donnelly & Associates at admin@ecdonnelly.com.
A full job description will be available in September at www.ecdonnelly.com.

Anyone else think that that it is wrong for a 'professional organization' to be hiring an outside executive rather than finding leadership from within the profession? I also have a serious issue with their plans to build a new monument to ego in the Russia Wharf development when the membership in the city is in such dire straits. It's akin to coronating a new King in France and building Versailles at the same time that the people are in the middle of a bloody revolution against the monarchy.
