Executive Director
Clinton County Historical Association
Plattsburgh, NY

The Clinton County Historical Association  (CCHA) located in
Plattsburgh, NY ? the gateway to the Adirondack Park ? has an exciting
opportunity for an Executive Director.  The focus of CCHA includes
interpreting the area?s history from the earliest recorded times (1600s)
to the present day through its collection of paintings, maps, furniture
and decorative arts.  The decisive Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814, the
culminating event in a century of naval warfare on Lake Champlain, is
highlighted through fascinating underwater archeological discoveries ?
the current focus of work among a number of museums and other
associations with which the CCHA Executive Director will closely
collaborate with.

The Executive Director will be responsible for directing the operation
of the CCHA, management and development of the museum collections,
facilities, fundraising, and public relations.  The organizational
structure is a nonprofit educational corporation with the incumbent
reporting to a Board of Trustees. We participate in regional cooperative
efforts to digitize historical materials for use in the schools and
elsewhere.

We seek an experienced, charismatic leader with demonstrated experience
in successful grant writing, fundraising, and curating ? preferably in a
similar environment.  Excellent planning and organizational skills are
essential as is the ability to interact effectively with Board Members,
Staff, Volunteers, Government agencies and the public.  A master?s
degree in an appropriate academic area is desired and/or a combination
of relevant higher education and professional museum work.

Interested candidates should email their resume and salary requirements
(expected hiring range $22-25,000) to: Sandra Lowe, Board Search
Committee, lowes@westelcom.com, or fax your resume to: 518-561-0340
