She will be officially stepping down on Tuesday, September 28, 2021. I don\u2019t think anyone really believed she would retire!<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that Anita was going to retire compelled me to come out of retirement (Ross Farm Museum). I believe strongly in the work that ANSM does and thought I might be helpful on the Board with hiring a new Executive Director. I will be on as President for the year before and the year after her retirement, with an option to re-offer at the end of the two-year term. This timing should assist with maintaining continuity of our institutional memory.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a little memo to bring you up to date on the Board\u2019s progress. I will provide updates periodically. Please feel free to contact either Anita or myself with any questions you may have. My email is <a href=\"mailto:lisawolfe@eastlink.ca\">lisawolfe@eastlink.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From September\u2019s AGM until the Christmas break the Board set a timeline for the hiring process and reviewed the Strategic Plan from the point of view of the effect of Covid-19 on its implementation. With the beginning of the new year, we have reviewed the job description and compiled a Skills Matrix to review resumes. A Hiring Committee was formed (see below). We will need to consider all the legal and financial considerations for a new hire. All relevant material will go to the Hiring Committee about mid-March 2021. Our plan is to advertise the position the beginning of April. The job offer will go out in the summer and the new Executive Director will start mid-September to be introduced to the membership at the AGM.<\/p>\n<p>The final decision for the hire is with the Board of Directors. The recommendations will come from the Hiring Committee. The Hiring Committee is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lisa Wolfe:<\/strong> Committee Chair, President ANSM, Retired Director Ross Farm Museum<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stephanie Smith:<\/strong> Executive Director of Archives, Museums and Libraries, Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Angela Saunders:<\/strong> VP ANSM, General Manager, Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic (Southwestern)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mark Peapell:<\/strong> past Board Member ANSM, President, Peapell &amp; Associates \/ Supertemp (Central)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rodney Chaisson:<\/strong> Director, Highland Village Museum, Past Pres ANSM, Chair Hiring Committee 2009(Cape Breton)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oralee O\u2019Byrne:<\/strong> current Past Pres ANSM, Age of Sail Museum, (Northeastern)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You have a Board that is committed to providing leadership through the transition and to uphold fair hiring practices throughout the competition for a new Executive Director.<\/p>\n<p>As Anita always says \u2026 Onwards!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-post-elm post_navigation layout_sided inv_false\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item order_first to_prev\"><\/div><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_second to_next\" href=\"https:\/\/ansm.ns.ca\/fr\/museum-supports-in-the-2021-federal-budget\/\" title=\"Museum Supports in the 2021 Federal Budget\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ansm.ns.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/640px-Flag-of-Canada-Pantone.svg.b0ca3618.b09667fb-1-300x156.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>Museum Supports in the 2021 Federal Budget<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President&#8217;s Message &#8211; February 2021Published: il y a 5 ann\u00e9esA belated Happy New Year from your President!
