Letter from Gaylord Gill, president of HVCA

To the HVCA Team:

For some time now, the HVCA Board of Directors has been working on defining and shaping a new organization to complement our recently-developed strategic plan. As articulated in this plan, we are striving to become a premier arts center that provides expanded offerings to an expanded service area.
Working through various planning committees, we have created a document titled “The HVCA Organization.” This document establishes some guiding principles for us, and then describes the structure of the organization. The structure consists of thirteen defined business functions, and we are looking to assign a leader to each of the functions.
A pivotal role in this new organization is that of the Executive Director. The Board wants to bring a fresh perspective to this position, so we have expanded the responsibilities and changed the emphasis toward growth of the organization. More than ever before, this position must provide strong leadership in directing the operations of HVCA, ensuring that a diverse team of volunteers is pulling together to achieve our goals and objectives. Each of the function leaders will report to the Executive Director.
We have also added the position of Office Manager. This new role will focus on the day-to-day running of the business office and the gallery, freeing the Executive Director to focus on developing programs, promoting the organization and gaining new income sources. The Office Manager also reports to the Executive Director.
The Board has decided to initiate a job search so that we might have the opportunity to review several candidates for these two positions. Job descriptions for the new Executive Director and Office Manager positions are attached, and anyone currently on the HVCA team may apply. Further, if anyone knows of potential candidates outside of HVCA, we ask that you share the information with them.
Inquiries and resumes may be sent to HVCA Board Member Leslie Watson. She may be reached during the day at 248-684-1004, or via email at Leslie.Watson4@gte.net.
