Be in the Room Where It Happens…the Board Room!
The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum seeks nominations for its class of 2023 Board of Trustees. Trustees have the primary responsibility of governing the organization. In partnership with the Executive Director, they promote the museum and work to achieve established strategic goals.
Individuals with some combination of the following skills are sought: Fundraising, Legal, Strategic planning, Marketing, Financial management, Human resources, Governance and Community outreach. In addition, those with experience in higher education, non-profit management, public history, museums, public gardens, preservation and community and cultural organizations are appropriate candidates.
Trustees serve a minimum of three years, and a maximum of nine. The RJD Board meets every other month, and all trustees serve on at least one committee.
Nominations are vetted by the Governance Committee and approved by vote at the RJD’s annual meeting in September. Interested individuals are encouraged to complete a brief intake form.
