JOB POSTING: Eastern Iowa Coordinator
Application Deadline: Monday, Aug. 18th
The African American Museum of Iowa is looking for an Eastern
Iowa Coordinator. This is a full-time salaried position that will
carry out the Museum's programs and develop relationships in communities
throughout Eastern Iowa. Although the person will be headquartered
in Davenport, there will be extensive travel, which will require
this person to have a reliable vehicle. Since the position represents
the Museum to the public and to organizations, it requires an
individual with an outgoing and professional personality, who
is organized and self motivated to offer public presentations.
It is preferred that this person has at least two years' college
education and is somewhat knowledgeable of African American history
and culture. Candidates need to be proficient in their use of
computer applications. The person will work closely with the Museum's
Curator and Education Director to accomplish the Museum's goals,
which requires a team player. All programs are developed by Museum
staff and are well structured for implementation and evaluation.
Some weekend and evening work is required for programs and events,
in which case comp-time is made available.
Starting pay for this position is $25,000 annually. Benefits
include $200/month for health insurance premiums, dental and vision
coverage, vacation and 7 holidays per year. Employees can contribute
to their own 401K plan. This position will be reimbursed for mileage
in the course of the job at $.40 per mile for gas and wear on
their vehicle. This position is paid by a one-year grant for programming
but is designed to lead into a program/development position that
will become self-sustaining. Training in programs and museum procedures
will be provided by the museum. A twin position in Des Moines
already exists to coordinate Central and Western Iowa, and will
train and mentor the Eastern Iowa Coordinator. There is room to
grow in this organization that preserves and promotes African
American heritage in Iowa.
Please send resume and cover letter to:
Tom Moore, Executive Director
African American Museum of Iowa
