• Provide leadership for our volunteer Board of Directors to create a comprehensive development plan that defines the necessary resources to advance our programs, initiatives, and organizational goals.

This task will require identifying specific roles and responsibilities of varied members, providing mentoring, direction, and support for the team.
• Develop and maintain relationships on behalf of the organization, connecting others to the mission of the project, and educating the public to the impact of arts and restoration in the community building process. One target of this initiative will be to garner participation and support of the project from members in other towns throughout the targeted region. The town of North Brookfield and surrounding Central Mass communities would all benefit from the preservation of this historic gem.Proposed Salary:$1400 per week for 12 weeks, taxes paid by successful job applicant
