Website Healdsburg Museum

The Healdsburg Museum & Historical Society collects, protects, preserves and interprets the artifacts, documents and photographs that trace the rich history of Healdsburg and surrounding area through exhibits, educational programs and historical research. We hold these objects in trust for present and future generations, understanding that the ties to our past, when woven with the experiences of our present, build the bridges to our future.

This is a new position on the Museum’s staff, coming as the Museum begins a new era of growth, triggered in part by a major multi-year principal gift, a robust period of strategic re-envisioning updating the Museum’s role in the community, and an evolution of the Museum’s culture of philanthropy. As such, this position offers the candidate the opportunity to play a catalytic role in charting the Museum’s future. Because of that, and the inherent need to identify and build key relationships as well as the supporting infrastructure, it is understood that it will take three years to build a mature and stable development program that effectively serves the Museum’s mission. While historically the Museum focused primarily on its membership base, the time has now come to build a diversified portfolio that optimizes and balances income from major donors, institutional donors, events, memberships and legacy gifts.
