At the end of August, Marc is leaving after eight years to become the Director of Advancement for the Performing Arts, in the College of Fine & Applied Arts at UIUC. We are looking for a mission-driven professional to build on the strong foundation he established and take our donor-centered development program to the next level.

The incoming Director will work closely with the Executive Director and the Board of Governors in designing and executing a comprehensive development and membership strategy. Specifically, the Director will be responsible for managing all aspects of the development program, including the Annual Fund Campaign, developing strategies to cultivate current and new membership, overseeing stewardship practices across the organization, planning fundraising events including the Annual Dinner & Auction and the Dump & Run® program, developing planned gifts, and managing and directing major gifts campaigns. Additionally, the Director will work with staff leadership to support grant application processes and specific programmatic fundraising initiatives.

Email a cover letter and resume with three professional references to Jim Hinterlong at jobs@universityymca.org by August 15th. The search will remain open until filled. The University YMCA is an equal opportunity employer.
