President
Mount Auburn Cemetery,
an active burial place and vibrant cultural institution, seeks a new president.
Founded in 1831, Mount Auburn was the first large-scale designed landscape open
to the public in North America, and it helped inspire the creation of America's
public parks. A National Historic Landmark, Mount Auburn's beauty, historical
associations, architecture, monuments, landscapes, and horticultural collections
are internationally renowned.
The president is the
chief executive officer of Mount Auburn Cemetery, serves as its principal public
spokesperson, and provides vision and leadership for its multi-faceted services
and programs. Reporting to a 14-member Board of Trustees and serving as a member
of that board, the president leads a full-time staff of 64, along with an
additional 46 seasonal and part-time workers and a cadre of volunteers.
Mount Auburn's $10 million annual budget is supported by an endowment of
approximately $150 million and by earned revenues from cemetery services and
funds raised through Mount Auburn's charitable arm, the Friends of Mount Auburn
Cemetery.
Building on the
framework of Mount Auburn's award-winning master plan and its recent strategic
planning work, the new president is expected to ensure that the cemetery, its
services, and its programs continue to meet the highest standards of excellence
and innovation. The position calls for a creative leader with highly developed
business skills and financial savvy as well as deep commitment to the unique
mission of Mount Auburn Cemetery. Outstanding communication and interpersonal
abilities are also essential and successful experience in fund raising is highly
desirable.
