<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b> DIRECTOR OF
DEVELOPMENT<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Woods Hole Research Center (Center) is widely acclaimed
for leadership in addressing the great, global environmental issues of our time
through science and policy. Based on a 10 acre campus near the village of
Woods Hole, Massachusetts, the Center has an annual operating budget of about
$11 million and employs a staff of some 55 individuals, most scientists, whose
work is currently heavily focused on understanding and protecting the
world’s forests and other ecosystems and in addressing key issues
concerning ecology and climate change. The Center’s work includes major
projects in North and South America, Africa, and Asia. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Center seeks <span class=apple-style-span><span
style='color:black'>an experienced, energetic, and creative Director of
Development (Director) to lead a sophisticated fundraising enterprise that will
ensure substantial philanthropic support for its mission and programs. She or
he will define and implement a clear communication strategy for current and
prospective donors; accelerate the commitment of funds from the organization's
most significant donors; and provide strategic and motivational guidance to the
staff and trustees.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='color:black'> </span></span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>This is a rare leadership
opportunity for a dynamic and accomplished individual. The </span>Center is
approaching its 25<sup>th</sup> Anniversary in 2010, and is poised to develop
and implement a campaign to significantly enhance its assets. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

Committee<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Center’s development office currently includes two
full-time and one half-time positions: the Development Director, a Development
Associate, and an Administrative Assistant who supports both the development
office and the communications office of the Center. The Center expects that
the Director, once on board, will lead efforts to recruit a new, third
full-time position. The Center expects that the individual in this new
position will play a leading role in foundation and corporate support, and the
Development Associate will oversee events and the Annual Fund. However, the
intimate size of the group will require teamwork on all matters, and the
Director will manage staff for such teamwork as demands require. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Director must have extensive experience in gift cultivation and
solicitation and campaign leadership, as well as strong managerial, strategic
planning, and motivational skills. She or he should also have a strong
collaborative orientation; experience with multi-faceted fundraising efforts;
and the personal energy, enthusiasm and drive to develop a program that exceeds
goals and overcomes obstacles. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Director will be eligible for all Center benefits. The
salary level is flexible based on experience and education.<span
